What our graduates say about ELITE
"Great school. Everyone that works there only wants the best for you. Definitely worth every penny and the trip down from New York."
"I don't believe I could have grown this way without coming to school here."
"The experience at Elite was very worth the hard work, time, and money. It was overall a great experience, and I was able to meet lifelong friends and have a head start on other people applying for the same jobs I am with less experience. I’m definitely very glad that I came to the school, and I’d say it was a life changing opportunity."
"Elite was great in preparing us for the work, but they also focused on your personal character. In my opinion that was huge. You have to know who you are to progress in life, and they help you find that."
“When I started working, my crew was shocked at how much I learned there and kept saying, “Dang, they teach you a lot more than just how to climb a pole huh?” But I tell them the most beneficial part of the school is the character development. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to!”
"To me, Elite is so much more than a trade school. I learned more about myself in those 11 weeks than I ever would have anywhere else. I definitely got my money's worth."
“My time at ELITE is something I will cherish for my whole life.... While at ELITE I learned about line work, but I also learned more about the person I want to be for the future because of the character building we did. I can’t say enough good things about ELITE.”
"As someone making a major career change, Elite provided me with a foundation that would allow me to be successful entering a new trade. The instructors at Elite go above and beyond to ensure that each and every student is prepared with the knowledge needed to begin a career in line work."
“Going to ELITE was an experience I’ll never forget. The instructors instill in you not only the knowledge of what it takes to be a lineman, but the knowledge of what it takes to be the best version of yourself.”
"Definitely worth every penny, from learning about line work to just becoming a better person. You're not just a student here, you become family. I know that if I have any questions during my career I can call any of the instructors and they will gladly help."
"I've spent the majority of my career in training roles, and have visited clinics and watched hundreds of teachers all over the country in different industries. In my opinion, Elite is in the top echelon of training institutions in the United States regardless of the field."
"First off at this school you are not looked at as just another student. You are family! The trainers, all 5, are hands down the best you could ask for. You will learn so much more than just line work. I promise you will not regret it."
"I can't begin to describe the goodness about this school! This Institute and the Instructors in charge have not only helped open doors to a new career path, but also helped open my mind to who I am and what I can be! Best School I have ever attended!!!"
"At ELITE the instructors help you in and outside the classroom, not just professionally, but personally. They not only want you to be prepared for line work, but also for life."
"Not only do you learn line work, but you learn great character building skills. When you you leave ELITE you don't just feel qualified for the job, you also feel like your character and integrity is stronger."
"In my opinion the best lineman school in the nation! One important thing you will learn at ELITE is character, that's what will take you farther in life than your knowledge in line work. Instructors will create endless opportunities for you to start a successful career."
"At ELITE I learned how to climb, how to work at heights, about the material that we use in the field, but more importantly, I learned who I am as a person. We established our core values and personal mission statements, and that goes a lot further than just line work."
SAFETY IS EVERYTHING
Line work is a profession that demands safe work practices. That’s why safety is of the utmost importance to us. We demand a high standard of safety from our students, so they’ll demand that same high standard from themselves when they’re in the field.
- Highest standard of safety for students and staff.
- Instructors have a combined 104 years of safe work experience in the utility industry.
- Must complete OSHA certifications to graduate.
Want to become an ELITE lineman?
Linemen need to be able to climb poles, operate equipment, construct and maintain distribution circuits, install poles and transformers, as well as string wire. We will teach you to do that and more, but we’ll also do something else that will truly help you to be ELITE, and that’s to invest in YOU as a person. We will not only help you get into this great industry, but we will help you grow as a person in your character. You can know that if you choose ELITE as your school, you will be attending a place that will care for you like no other, SO THAT you can become a lineman and person like no other!
