“The fact that I could graduate in six months was important to me, because I could earn the diploma and get a job as fast as possible.”
—NVI student Jonathan Johnson
“My favorite thing about NVI is all the instructors and how helpful they are and how engaging the learning is. We're not just in the classroom, we're in the shop, working on cars, breaking things down, putting things back together. So it's a lot of fun.”
— NVI student Justin Smith
“You get a lot of one-on-one instruction when you need it. And you have the textbook, the lecture and hands-on instruction in the lab. So no matter how you really learn, you get it all. And NVI is really great at helping students find a job.”
—NVI student Matthew Dalton
“After I got out of the Air Force, I wasn't really planning on going back to school, but this just seemed like such a great opportunity. I couldn't pass it up!”
—NVI student Matthew Dalton
“NVI's transformed my life in many ways. They've not only developed my skills as a mechanic, but they've also made me more comfortable in dealing with people and situations I'll encounter in this industry.”
—NVI diesel graduate Patrick Baker

Father of Seven Changes Life with NVI Education
Brandon Patterson, 34, spent 16 years working jobs he didn’t like.
He finally had an epiphany.
He always enjoyed working on cars but had never formally studied vehicle maintenance. He found NVI Blairsville in Pennsylvania through a web search. A couple of conversations later, he was on his way to a life-changing course of study he completed in six months at NVI, the nation’s largest campus dedicated to auto and diesel tech training.

NVI diploma lands graduate dream job at rail giant CSX
Ryley Gonter landed his well-paying dream job at rail transportation giant CSX immediately after graduating from NVI Blairsville's innovative and focused six-month program in diesel technology.
With the help of NVI's caring and experienced instructors, Ryley overcame issues with attention deficit disorder that had plagued his high school education and in some cases had turned into an excuse. He became part of NVI's inaugural graduation class.
