Six Programs. Industry Credentials. No Cost.

Sterile Processing Technicians are the unsung heroes of every hospital and surgical center — the professionals who ensure that every surgical instrument is safe, sterile, and ready for use. It is exacting, important, and in demand. ATS prepares you for the CRCST (Central Resource and Clinical Service Technician) exam administered by the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM). Our program covers decontamination, sterilization methods, instrument identification, quality assurance, and department operations. Upon certification, graduates are qualified for positions in hospital central service departments, surgical centers, and outpatient facilities across the Philadelphia region.

Certified Nursing Aides provide hands-on patient care in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health settings. It is one of the most direct paths into healthcare — and one of the most rewarding. ATS prepares you to pass the Pennsylvania CNA licensure exam, covering essential patient care skills, communication, infection control, and professional standards. Upon passing, you will be listed on the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Registry, which is required for employment in regulated care settings.

Phlebotomists collect blood samples for testing, transfusions, research, and medical procedures. It is a skilled technical role in high demand across hospitals, clinics, blood banks, and laboratories. ATS prepares you for the CPT (Certified Phlebotomy Technician) or RPT (Registered Phlebotomy Technician) credential through NHA or ASCP. Our curriculum covers venipuncture techniques, specimen handling, patient interaction, and laboratory safety.

ATS offers American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) training for healthcare providers, caregivers, and community members who want to be prepared to respond to cardiac and respiratory emergencies. Our certified instructors lead hands-on sessions with CPR manikins and AED simulators. Upon successful completion, you receive an AHA BLS Provider card valid for 2 years.

Financial wellness is workforce readiness. ATS Financial Literacy provides practical skills in budgeting, banking, credit building, savings strategies, debt management, and financial goal-setting. Designed for participants at any income level, this program helps you take control of your financial life as you grow your professional career.
