Our Concept

Amtec College was born of the experiences of many of our corporate executives and staff members who have all spent significant time in the field of Cable TV installations and service.

For years, the hiring selection process was flawed and the training was nearly non-existent. New candidates were sent out with a so-called experienced mentor, but little training of any value was accomplished. The “trainer” had minimal or no vested interest in training the new installer, and after two weeks the trainee gained little knowledge other than bad habits and poor attitudes.

This was precisely the experience of Steve Knepp, then, Amtec’s Vice President of Education. Steve came from an information technology background and was accustomed to structured learning programs. Confronted by the industry’s chaos, he faced the challenge of reform.

Steve was determined that if given the opportunity he would develop a program that would be structured, packed with valuable information and understood by those with little technical experience. With the support of Amtec’s President, CEO, Amtec’s Division Vice Presidents and Project Managers, and the support and input of his staff, Steve has engineered a program that is second to none in the fulfillment industry

Our Program

The primary purpose of Amtec College is to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning. While we prefer to hire only the most qualified technicians we realize that everyone interested in a career in the telecommunications industry may not have experience, and if not, where are they going to get it?

Amtec College is a four week educational program broken down into two separate two week programs. Phase I is two weeks of classroom education combined with hands-on learning exercises designed to teach the basic skills required to become successful. Our Regional Instructors are carefully selected for their ability to teach and transfer knowledge. They were extremely successful technicians in the field and are outstanding communicators who have a passion to teach and transfer their accumulated knowledge. Passing a final exam is a requirement to proceed to Phase II.

Phase II consists of about two weeks of On the Job Training (OJT). The student will ride out on actual installations and service upgrades with a seasoned veteran to apply the physical skills they learned in the classroom. During Phase II the student will be paid an hourly wage to enable them to be comfortably integrated into the work force without the pressure of production quotas.
