Military Benefits

The management and personnel of Associated Training Services have a profound respect for all those who serve in the military and sacrifice for our country. Therefore, we strive to put forth the maximum effort and consideration for all military veterans who wish to attend ATS. Our organization has trained over 2,000 veterans in our fifty years of operation.
