ATS helps me with time management. I have a family and devoting 2 nights per week to be in class is not possible. This platform gave me the flexibility to study/learn from home and was much more convenient for my schedule.

I like ATS because of the detailed information portrayed in a straightforward manner that is easy to learn. It’s also very convenient being a self-paced course.

What I like about ATS is that it is self-paced, and I am able to work through the course at my convenience instead of having to work around a class schedule.

NH YEAR 2 APPRENTICE

I had my reservations about doing an online program. But, the ability to go at your own pace was fantastic to get through my last year quickly so I could test. The school was reasonably priced and I feel I learned a lot! The exams in the school really prepped me for the licensing exam which I passed on my first try.
