Just my personal advice is that yes NCTI is a very professional and excellent program to go through but I highly recommend you get your feet wet by investing in the tools, vehicle, ladders and start as a trainee with a company. get your Cert this way then start on NCTI. It all comes together so much easier this way. Good Luck & God Speed!
