the american telecommunications institute

The American Telecommunications Institute was formed in July of 1984 to develop and provide a complete curriculum of courses and seminars in the areas of telecommunications management, data communications, and telephone engineering, design, and project implementation.  ATI is a subsidiary of JTM  Associates, Inc., an Atlanta based telecommunications consulting firm.  JTM Associates has been offering complete telecommunications consulting services to businesses and institutional organizations since 1970, specializing in specification, design, engineering, and implementation of telecommunications, data communications and office automation systems. 

ATI develops and presents seminars and courses both independently and through various universities and professional organizations such as Georgia State University in Atlanta, Washington University in St. Louis, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, the American Society of Hospital Engineering under the auspices of the American Hospital Association, and the Association of College and University Telecommunications Administrators. 

In addition to the regular courses listed in the curriculum, specific training programs are developed for in‑house presentation to consulting clients, general businesses, telecommunications industry vendors, and institutional organizations.  Special marketing force training modules in basic telephony are available to vendors of telecommunications products.  All courses listed in the curriculum are available for private presentation to individual businesses, organizations, and associations. 

The faculty of the American Telecommunications Institute is drawn from the consulting staff of JTM Associates, fellow consultants who are members of the Society of Telecommunications Consultants, and technical specialists on loan from companies such as Lucent, NorTel, IBM, and Siemens/Rolm Corporation. 

Course schedules are developed independently by the sponsoring schools or organizations.  Course information brochures are mailed to interested parties by the organization sponsoring the scheduled seminar.  For inclusion in mailing lists, interested parties should contact Bryan Bell at the Institute.  Current course schedules will be promptly forwarded, and interested organizations will be added to appropriate mailing lists at their request.  Additional information regarding the American Telecommunications Institute is available upon request through the offices of JTM Associates.
