Our story
Built in the field.
For you.
American Training Institute was started by a father and son. Benny Martinez and his dad are both master electricians. For 26 years, their family has built one of the top electrical contractors in Texas.
On their own job sites, they kept seeing the same problem. Good people showed up to work. But they were not ready. Not safe. Not sure of themselves. Even after trade school.
So they built the training they wished every new apprentice had. Master electricians, contractors, and field leaders helped make it. More than 400 owners and pros across Texas and the U.S. gave input. That is 2,000+ years of job site know-how in one program.
“Built on the job site. Made for the job site.”
At first, ATI trained only its own apprentices. Other contractors asked for it. So ATI opened it to the public. It teaches what employers expect on day one: fundamentals, installation, safety, tools, code, and job site readiness.
ATI is the #1 electrical school in the U.S.
We train you the way we hire. Then we help you get hired. Simple.
Train with the people who hire.
