“SLTC Safety training and experience in the industry is second to none. Their facility, instructors, and wide range of knowledge in the electrical world, is just what was needed for our employees who work in Utilities Services. SLTC instructors were able to take something complicated and simplify it, so a safe working environment could be achieved.”
“My overall experience during this instructor course was outstanding. I gained far more knowledge than I expected and built confidence that I will be able to deliver the best course I possibly can to my students... It was a surreal experience being able to return to SLTC to learn how to instruct students of my own. [SLTC] showed me many tips and methods to make a classroom environment comfortable and engaged on the material being taught.”
“SLTC's approach was meticulous.. and the curriculum covered a broad spectrum [of topics]. This training served to fortify our understanding of safety protocols and methodologies, leaving us better equipped for the challenges ahead. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to fellow linemen, as it promises invaluable insights and skill enhancement.”
