![]() Elkins Institute Exams and Licensing |
In 1994, Elkins formed a strategic alliance with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in Dallas, Texas, establishing the first satellite interactive public access training network. Additionally, the Institute received a national contract from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue commercial examinations for aviation, communication, and maritime industry professionals, subsequently certifying these individuals for federal licensing. The fruition of these two strategic partnerships led to the establishment of approximately 150 examination sites in U.S. territories worldwide, and over 50 interactive satellite sites across the U.S. Elkins Institute was purchased by BFT Training Unlimited, Inc. in 1997, and the ELKINS company headquarters relocated from Dallas, Texas to California. ELKINS currently provides technical training, licensing and certification to international organizations, national administrations and non-governmental organizations, individuals and businesses primarily in the maritime and aviation industry throughout the world.
