100%-90%=A; 89%-80%=B; 79%-70%=C; 69%-60%=D; 59% or less=F
*Student will not receive a diploma with less than a 70% C average in the program.
The field evaluations will be conducted on a pass/fail basis. Each evaluation consists of several duties that will have to be passed in order to pass the evaluation. If the student passes 70% of the duties associated with that specific field evaluation, they will pass that evaluation. The percentage of the evaluation that they pass will be the score that is factored into the GPA. The student cannot fail any of the evaluations as a whole. The student must pass all field evaluations as a whole, with at least a 70% to be eligible for graduation.
The North American Lineman Training Center is a special purpose institution. That purpose is to provide the highest quality education, along with real-world, hands-on instruction to those seeking to be trained for a career as an electrical line worker. This purpose does not include preparing students for further college study. Students should be aware that transfer of credit is always the responsibility of the receiving institution. Whether or not credits transfer is solely up to the receiving institution. Any student interested in transferring credit hours should check with the receiving institution directly to determine to what extent, if any, credit hours can be transferred.
The North American Lineman Training Center can not accept previous education credits, training, or experience as contact hours toward the programs offered.
Please see the Transferability of Credits disclosure in the Enrollment Agreement or click here.
Students will be given a listing of utility companies, electric co-ops, and unions around the country. After discussing the differences in the types of companies that they are eligible to work for, the North American Lineman Training Center will guide them through the resume building process and help them apply to various employers of their choice. Local opportunities and any other opportunities that NALTC is aware of will be posted in the classrooms and on the web. The Pre-Apprentice Lineworker Program requires the students to have 12 hours during the semester focused in career planning. The North American Lineman Training Center does not guarantee employment to its students.
