In order to be a trainer for American Training Solutions you must in fact be an
American. All of our trainers have worked, studied, and received higher level
education in the United States. With so many people in India working for MNC’s and
BPO’s, training from American trainers is enormously valuable.
Every trainer that works for us is chosen specifically for their skills and abilities. We

company, we feel confident when we say our training is the very best.
