WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR When students enter the classroom – either in-person or online – the question is “What’s in it for me?” Our instructors engage by providing a personal reference point to help students connect.
As a veteran of the construction industry with twenty years of field experience, I understand the complexity of running a construction project efficiently and profitably without compromising safety. The key lies in well-trained professionals working on the job. That’s why we are passionate about conducting courses of the highest quality. We all know there are many ways to meet the government requirements for worker safety certification. Our commitment to quality extends to every class offered by every instructor—a standard rooted in me while earning my degrees. Doing things right not only keeps everyone safe and minimizes exposure to work-related accidents, it also impacts the bottom line for the better.
Jake Toth, CHST Director
We are passionate about quality.
We cannot overstate our gratitude to IACET for being our guiding light in the pursuit of academic excellence.
We encourage students to think, to debate, to step up to the plate and express opinions.
Teaching Safety & Skills In Construction
IN-PERSON AND ON-LINE COURSES
COURSES FOR NOVICE STUDENTS, EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS, AND ORGANIZATIONS ALIKE Our specialty is in scaffolding, safety and OSHA/DOB compliance to meet the demands of the ever-changing construction industry. Led by veterans of the construction industry, we understand the complexity of running a construction project efficiently and profitably without compromising safety. The key lies in well-trained professionals working the job. That’s why we are committed to conducting courses of the highest quality through the creation of a collaborative and enriching learning environment. Doing things right not only keeps everyone safe and minimizes exposure to work related accidents, it also impacts the bottom line for the better. Courses are available to all interested students regardless of experience-level unless a prerequisite is required.
Every effort is made to ensure that each student, regardless of their industry experience, is up-todate and fully engaged in their respective field. Each course and lesson plan is carefully designed to teach students of all backgrounds the necessary information they need to take their careers to the next level. Our typical lesson will include PowerPoint presentations, lectures, real-world case studies, and classroom discussions. Our instructors are qualified and experienced individuals who bring years of construction industry knowledge to the classroom. Our teachers are the best in the business – their success and happiness are solely dependent on the accomplishments of our students inside and outside of the classroom.

David Nidus Executive Director ACI
“…The instructor really did a great job presenting the material in an engaging way that all participants could understand. We’ll certainly be keeping Andromeda Academy in mind for all our future training & certification needs.”
“During the pandemic it was crucial that we continued with a distant learning model. Andromeda Academy was the only source we found that could provide what we needed within a short timetable and deliver with high quality… The instructor did a fabulous job of engaging with students in an online format. [Instructors] were incredibly wellprepared, materials were wellpresented. The commitment and expertise …in delivering high quality content was abundantly clear.”
ACI has been pleased to partner with the Andromeda Academy since 2018. They are a solutions-focused organization, always willing to help architect a training solution that works for our organization. Being able to rely on the DOB know how of their director, Jake Toth, has been an asset for our business.
Remote learning While remote learning can create Zoom fatigue, Academy instructors have always steered away from repetitive and prolonged lecturing and initiated frequent breaks and regular interaction. Methods to ensure participation are now enhanced for virtual formats. Further, online training has the advantage of extending to a far broader base of students and instructors. The Academy regularly serves students from across the tri-state area.
