This assures that all students will meet the objectives of the training being delivered.

What are the qualifications of ATI instructors?
ATI's instructors are unique in the industry. We only hire people with proven experience. An effective instructor must have two key attributes: industrial knowledge and the ability to teach. Many instructors can bring one of these attributes to the party, but that's not good enough -- ATI instructors have both. Our instructors are proven in the classroom -- they handle adverse situations with ease, they are flexible and can tweak the instruction to make it applicable to all students in class, and they are professional, courteous and good classroom managers. ATI instructors have industrial experience -- they have studied and worked with robotics systems, packaging systems, industrial controls, complex assembly lines, and high-speed assembly. They can translate this experience into real world examples and lessons that are used in the classroom.
