Our Name

"Applied Police Training And Certification"  

APTAC  represents the organization
and the type of training that is provided.  

Applied

The Term "Applied" refers to the applicability of the training that is presented.  
Many training courses today are presented to inform students of the concepts and
techniques contained in the course.  APTAC goes beyond that step. We know that
modern law enforcement officers are looking for tools, to better perform their job.  
APTAC understands this need and  presents materials,  information and techniques
that can be immediately used on the street, in the investigation, in the classroom and
on the job.  In other words, it can be Applied by the student at the conclusion of the
course.  In fact,  many students have actually applied the techniques and skills during
the courses, before graduation.  

"Training"

The term "Training" in our name refers to the philosophy of our purpose in
educating our students.  The general accumulation of knowledge and education is
important and a worthwhile pursuit of every student.  However, it is the goal of
APTAC to provide, not just knowledge,  but to actually train the student in the use of
the knowledge and skills presented in our courses.  As a training organization,
APTAC realizes that training must be dynamic, entertaining, informative, productive,
effective,  and up to date to enable participants to absorb the information at a level
where it will be immediately useable in the field.  To meet these requirements,
APTAC uses a multitude of training techniques.  These techniques include dynamic
lecture, video presentations, video scenarios, student participation exercises, case
studies, chart diagrams, hands on activities and classroom demonstrations.  

"Certification"

The term "Certification" refers to the recognition of the training provided by
APTAC.  We use only certified, experienced and qualified instructors highly trained
in their field of expertise.   APTAC is certified by the Police Officer Standards and
Training (POST) Commissions in numerous states and we strive to insure that
training will be recognized for students to receive professional recognition and credit
for training.

It is the goal of APTAC to present a high quality training program to the participant at
a reasonable price.  All APTAC courses include all instructor materials and are
accompanied by student text books published by APTAC.  As a result,  APTAC
offers a satisfaction, money back guarantee to the customer as a representation of
our dedication to our Motto:

"Quality & Excellence In Criminal Justice Training."
