The Mission of American Advanced Technicians Institute, Corp. (herein after referred to as AATI), is centered around the education of the student. Our Mission is to provide practical training and a technical education in the field of Automotive Technology. AATI is dedicated to the principle that vocational and technical education is directed to the needs of the individual, the community and the nation's industries. AATI's educational aim is to train, guide, and help motivate its students to effectively make their way into a challenging and rewarding career. In addition to helping our student's acquire the necessary technical knowledge and skills, the Institute also places emphasis on the student's personal development.

American Advanced Technicians Institute, Corp. began in August of 1995, when its owners responded to a calling from the community of automobile mechanics. The need for the Institute arose from new laws being implemented by Miami-Dade County, requiring all mechanics to be certified by passing the ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certification exams. AATI started as a private tutoring institution and in September of 1995 was incorporated in the State of Florida as American Advanced Technicians Institute, Corp. Its original program was comprised of review courses for ASE examinations. In 1997, AATI became Licensed by the State Board of Independent Post-secondary Vocational, Technical, Trade and Business Schools (now named The Commission For Independent Education) License Number 1932, to offer the following program(s) of instruction: Automotive Technology Program, Automotive Certification Preparation Program and Advanced Automotive Technology Program. In May of 1998, AATI was issued a new License Number 2038 due to a change of ownership and the addition of a new program (Automotive Transmission Program). In July 1998, AATI was approved by Miami-Dade County to administer its own Mechanic/Technicians Certification Exams in Spanish, English and Creole. On December 2002, AATI became accredited by the Accrediting Council For Continuing Education and Training (ACCET). ACCET is a national accrediting agency listed by the U. S. Secretary of Education.
