ATech Training Information

ATech Training, Inc. was founded in 1984 by two individuals that were interested in the quality of automotive training programs in the United States. They believed that they could make a difference by developing products that would aid instructors in presenting a hands on approach to teaching and learning the skills of diagnosing and repairing automobiles. Fred Hines joined the company in 1986 as V.P. of Research and Development. Fred became the sole owner in 1997. He and CEO Laura Lyons, provided the vision and direction of the company ever since. With this vision, ATech has become a world leader in the design and development of world class “Trainers” and courseware for the Automotive OEM, Secondary Education, Community College, Military and Technical Schools. In January 2005, ATech became the only training equipment design/manufacturer in the world that is also CASE™ certified by ASE™. The certification process was lengthy and required extensive self evaluation with subsequent documentation. ATech Training Inc. is a privately held corporation that is funded in total by the sale of its Trainers and Demonstrators around the world. ATech promotes excellence in automotive education through its support and work with many other organizations including but not limited to; ASE, NATEF, CASE, ICAR, NACAT, IATN, CAT, SCNACAT, SCRTTC, and many others.
