Advanced Training International Inc (ATI) is a Territory owned, non-profit Registered Training Organisation with Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) status.

With over 500 students at any one time, ATI is a recognised leader in traineeship and apprenticeships and is committed to the flexible delivery of work-based training.

ATI engages closely with peak employer and industry groups, Industry Training Advisory Bodies (ITABs), Group Training Organisations as well as schools to identify and promote pre-vocational programs in skills shortage areas throughout the Northern Territory. It also caters to mature age students wishing to up skill through a variety of short and specialised courses.

Through its consideration of culture, language and beliefs of the people who work and live in remote communities, outstations, schools and regional areas in the Northern Territory, ATI has found a niche in providing training to meet demands and deliver real outcomes for its people. Tailored mobile training courses have taken ATI to remote places such as Wadeye, Elcho Island, Maningrida, Timber Creek and Lajamanu.

General Manager Doug MacDonald says, “We believe we are at the forefront of innovative ideas that help change the attitudes of our students. Our philosophy is simple – If we want people to change, we need to be seen as the role models to lead that change. We actively encourage our students to ‘think and work outside the square’, through looking for ways to constantly improve, which in turn grows the incentive to learn”.
