We are licensed as a WA State postsecondary educational institution!

Atomic Technical Institute (ATI) is proud to be a licensed vocational school in Washington State through the Washington State Training Board (WTB). This recognition reflects the Board's careful review of our training programs, instructors, and academic standards before certification is granted.

ATI is also proud to partner with Columbia Southern University. Through this partnership, ATI students may be eligible to receive up to 48 semester credit hours for qualifying programs. Our President and lead professor, Dr. Paul Nims, also serves as a full-time professor and doctoral chair at CSU.

As of April 9, 2026, ATI has also achieved reciprocity certification through the Department of Energy's National Training Center (NTC). This means ATI training MUST/SHALL be accepted by DOE sites throughout the United States. We are honored to be among fewer than eight organizations nationwide with this distinction.
