NRTG is Excellent. I took a Mechatronics class through Ancora last year which at the time was a great experience and I thought they did well for being remote classes. I have to say NRTG has blown that experience out of the water. From the way they have the course structured, to the level of communication we have with the instructors and everyone at NRTG is phenomenal. NRTGs example should be the paragon of what the Amazon Career Choice program strives to be.
If you have any care about what goes on in the great outdoors, this class is #1 from start to finish! I like that the instructors cover safety right at the beginning of the course, and do so throughout the course. Learning how to use a map, compass, clinometer, have been fun – I have always used a map, but who knew there was so much more to learn about them! The field studies have been fun – getting the hands experience really engrains the lessons. I have never felt such self-enrichment from a course. Thank you NRTG and thank you Amazon!
I, Jonathan Navarro have had an awesome learning experience with the NRTG instructors and staff. Have learned a lot of new skills and enjoyed the program and the field assignments. Would definitely recommend this class.
