Accreditation, Licensure & Partnerships

Atomic Technical Institute is a Washington state licensed private vocational school. Licensure is administered by the Washington Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board (the Workforce Board), which regulates private career schools under RCW 28C.10 and publishes a searchable list of licensed schools. ATI meets the Board's requirements for financial responsibility, faculty qualifications, student-refund policy, recordkeeping, and facility safety.

ATI is one of a small number of organizations nationwide with Department of Energy National Training Center reciprocity. Practically, that means certifications and content delivered at ATI meets the standard recognized by DOE sites, so graduates enter Hanford and DOE's qualification pipeline with a credential the site already accepts.

ATI holds an articulation agreement with CSU that lets qualifying ATI coursework transfer for college credit. The agreement is built for students who want to stack an ATI credential onto an applied science or bachelor's degree without restarting from scratch. Admissions can share the current credit-equivalency table on request.

Our graduates feed into Hanford prime-contractor and sub-contractor pipelines, including Washington River Protection Solutions (H2C), Central Plateau Cleanup Company, Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, and the subcontractors and staffing firms those primes rely on. Small-modular-reactor companies, Energy Northwest, and medical-isotope manufacturers also hire from our graduate pool.
