HISTORY
 The
Diesel Institute of America (DIA) was conceived in 1970 by Sheldon
Monsein, then President of Central GMC/Kenworth, Inc. in Landover,
Maryland. His idea for a superior training institute was born out
of a need for additional qualified diesel mechanics to repair the
hundreds of vehicles at his facility. Soon after, DIA offered the
first class in a 500 square-foot garage in Landover. As word spread
in the industry concerning the availability of skillful, school-trained
diesel mechanics, Diesel Institute of America began to grow. In September
1983, Diesel Institute of America opened in Grantsville, Maryland.
In September 1986, DIA began offering commercial truck driver training.
In 2002, Diesel Institute was purchased and is presently owned by
Education Enterprises. In May 2004, Diesel Institute of America relocated
from Grantsville, Maryland to its present location in Baltimore, and
the name was changed to North American Trade Schools and they now
offer several programs to chose from! Contact
us to enroll today.
North American Trade Schools program offerings and facilities have
grown rapidly over the years to keep pace with ever-increasing industry
demands. At the same time, our reputation has developed as one of
the nation’s foremost technical training facilities.
