North American Trade Schools - London

The worst place anyone could go for education!First I asked if I needed an apprenticeship after the course, they said nope, my course covered that, all I need to do was take the exam. Liars! After a 2 months they said I still would need an apprenticeship after, but it could nock off 1 year, I figured o well I already started the course.I asked to take a week off because my wife was having our first baby, they said no problem!..... Until I was 65% finished my course.They called me into the office told me I missed too many days and I needed to come up with another $3500.00 out of pocket, (I was on OSAP). I said I couldn't afford that, they told me to return my books (which i had to pay for),  my tools ( which I had to pay for).HERE IS THE KICKER, Because it's a private institution, after completing 65% You must pay the entire tuition... I LOST  OVER $16,000.00!!!!!!!Take a lesson from me!DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY HERE!THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!

I absolutely loved my time at NATS as a recent grad of the welding program and having never done welding once my entire life before taking the program, I can honestly say I am entering my new career with the confidence knowing I was taught what I need to know to be successful in my new career. The tuition seems daunting however, you get everything you need to start your new career my entire tool box loaded with gear as well as your helmet and jacket only thing I bought was my prescription safety glasses. OSAP covered my entire tuition plus a generous amount for living expense. I was a line cook previously and going into welding was the best descision I have made my entire life.

Enrolled in the HVAC program. Absolute worst place to go. Not professional at all. Would never ever recommend this school to anyone

The teaching is almost non existent! Rick Francis chooses favourite students, and helps those students but treats others like garbage! Dave isn’t knowledgeable at all and only knows what he reads continuously to students from the books because that is all the teaching he knows the rest of the time his face is in his laptop! And finally you get to meet a great man named Brian Spencer the final teacher you will be with in the hvac course he is a brilliant man who actually does care about his students sucess and is very much the only reason anyone passes the G2 exam at North American Trade School London campus.

Place is a scam. They set your loan up through the government and once they get their money they could care less about you. They will use any excuse to get rid of you and you are stuck with a government loan to pay back. They will even take and keep the PPE that was given to you out of your locker.

currently attending the North American Trade School in London and have only had great experiences. The shop is always clean and uses real appliances so we can see and get familiar with them for future jobs. every teacher answers any question (regardless if you've already asked them 100 times already haha) and even shows you in detail any solution that may be causing the issue.they supplied me with all the resources and tools that i needed for piping, hooking up furnaces, diagnosing stoves and ovens - and as a bonus they teach a BUNCH of certificates that will make my resume pop (O-zone depletion prevention, working with heights, ward flex, gas tights - many more and they are always posting)If you're looking for a place where you can learn hands on in an environment filled with teachers who worked (and still work) in the field along with real equipment - i would highly recommend NATS

Absolutely horrible experience. Charge 18k for gas 2 license expedited over 55 weeks. Students in gas 2 are basically left to do whatever they want during classes which is only 2 days a week in class. They seem to have organizational issues from administration. I left after getting gas 3 (great decision)but have kept in touch with fellow students since. They all say the same thing. What a waste of time and money. They learn basically nothing in class and learn only in field with companies they work part time for. Do not waste your money here folks. Go through the mainstream colleges like Seneca, George Brown, Fanshawe etc. This school gets your money and teaches you nothing.

I'm in the welding program right now and I'm half way threw and already have all my tickets that will help me get jobs in what I want to do, great place for a welding course one down side I would like them to teach the students how to use measuring devices more. I had job experience but can tell not every one who's enrolled have the same experience before hand. But still great school for welding

Save your money, place is a scam. Do your research. This trade school" will not leave you feeling like its worth the money. Might learn some things but all the school wont count toward your apprenticeship school requirements. Find out how to become a journeyman. The answer is not at this school."

What a gimmick- I researched the answers they gave me to obtaining an HVAC career- all lies just to get me to sign up - I also called hvac companies and they highly suggested not to waste my time at the Cracker Jack school. GO TO COLLEGE!!
