What Access Training Inc. does

Access Training Inc. (ATI) is a privately held vocational training institution headquartered in a single facility at 4915 I-55 N. Frontage Rd, Suite C-305, Jackson, Mississippi. Founded in 1989 and incorporated in Mississippi in 1994, ATI delivers short-term, hands-on healthcare certification programs to individuals in the Jackson metropolitan area seeking entry-level employment in healthcare settings. The institution serves two overlapping segments: healthcare career seekers pursuing certification and unemployed or underemployed adults needing workforce re-entry support.

ATI's product portfolio comprises ten programs ranging from a 5-day Personal Care Provider course ($350) to a 13-week Pharmacy Technician course ($3,500), spanning Nursing Assisting (Day, Night, and Fast Track), Basic and Advanced Phlebotomy, Electrocardiogram Technician, Dental Assisting, Clinical Medical Assisting, and Personal Care Provider. Each program combines classroom lecture, laboratory practice, and a clinical externship, with a maximum 15:1 teacher-student ratio, and prepares graduates for external certification exams administered by the Mississippi Nurse Aide Assessment Program, the National Health Career Association (NHA), or the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PCTB). ATI is licensed by the Mississippi Commission of Proprietary School and College Registration (License #558) and holds approvals from the Mississippi State Department of Health, the Mississippi State Approving Agency (GI Bill), and is a WIOA eligible training provider.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based, with a $40 application fee and program pricing ranging $350–$3,500. Revenue diversification comes from multiple funding channels: cash/check/credit payments, in-house payment plans, WIOA workforce funding, GI Bill veterans benefits, and a Voice of Calvary Ministries tuition assistance partnership. The institution markets through its website and organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter), relying on an admissions funnel that includes online application, in-person interview, assessment test, and facility tour. ATI has cultivated job placement relationships with regional healthcare employers including Merit Health, Baptist Medical Center, St. Dominic's Hospital, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, and Mississippi Blood Services, supporting graduate employment outcomes.
