IDENTITY & PHILOSOPHY
As a blended company that offers professional, strategic and tactical technology services as well as business and certification-path technology training, ACTT is a unique industry provider. At ACTT, we view our employees, partners, students and clients as extended members of our family, and we are fully committed to helping them thrive. That is why we adhere to the motto, “we don’t over promise and under-deliver; we always strive to meet and exceed expectations.”
ACTT is licensed to provide Information Technology and Computer Application training by the State of Hawai‘i, Department of Education and an authorized Eligible Training Provider (ETP). Our student population is diverse with various professional backgrounds and includes former veterans, injured or displaced workers, Department of Defense and government employees, as well as corporate environment clientele.
We strive to prepare each and every one of our students to become trained, skilled, and where applicable, industry-certified professionals. To ensure our students are able to thrive, all of our on-site classes are set in small and intimate environments with a low student to teacher ratio and focused on hands-on opportunities with application of knowledge to real-world environments.

Under the SBA 8(a) program, ACTT expanded its service offerings from exclusively IT training to IT Professional Services and Business Process Support Services. Our services now extend throughout the Contiguous US (CONUS) and the DC-Metro area.
We specialize in Business Process Services, IT Support and Training Solutions for our Customers and clients, primarily Government Agencies within the US Department of Defense (DoD) community.
