The Training Institute was born out of an extensive need for training services within the operational branch of our parent organization, Service Alternatives.

Like you, Service Alternatives has always recognized the need for excellent training. Since 1990, the Service Alternatives Training Institute (SATI) has experienced the benefits of increased employee satisfaction, professionalism, and quality of work as a result of prioritizing training. The quality and professionalism of SATI’s trainings and consultations were soon recognized by others and have been in demand ever since. SATI continues to expand, meeting the growing demands of clients. We currently offer a wide variety of technical assistance services to over 3,000 people each year.
