ATP Learning Solutions represents our continued commitment to developing quality materials and working hand-in-hand with our clients.

ATP Group History

Our company was founded in 1898 in Boston, Massachusetts, as the American Technical Society (ATS) to publish instructional materials to be used by the American School of Correspondence. The company was founded on the belief that all Americans should have the opportunity to receive a high school diploma and learn the job skills required to prepare them for the working world.

With the onset of World War II, the primary publishing efforts of ATS were focused on vocational training materials for preparation of industrial workers for the war effort.

The Vocational Education Act of 1963 and subsequent appropriations provided increased federal funding for expansion of vocational education programs. With this steadily increasing market, ATS continued to develop new material, becoming the recognized publisher in trade and industrial education, which is a major part of vocational education.

On March 14, 1980, the assets of ATS were purchased by the American Technical Publishers, Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Trust. American Technical Society, later renamed Technical Foundation of America, began operation as an educational foundation.

As our roles in the education and training profession continued to evolve, American Technical Publishers, Inc. was renamed The ATP Group, Inc. and divisions were formed to reflect these roles. Our world-class publications continue to be developed by industry leaders and sold by American Technical Publishers. Our expanded services provided to our partners in learning are delivered through ATP Learning Solutions.
