"Training products are consistently of the highest caliber," according to the U.S. Navy’s Task Order Representative, having oversight of ASFT’s performance on a major Navy contract. ASFT training experts have supported the development of complete curriculum packages for various submarine electronic systems, including five generations of combat systems programs. These curricula offer a full range of advanced and traditional instructional methods including classroom instruction, hands-on practical job skills training, and computer based training modules. The courses provide the operation and maintenance training needed for student indoctrination as well as full operational certification. ASFT has deployed these courses in an electronic classroom environment, and has provided differences training at designated submarine locations throughout the country. A Navy Training Program Manager commented, "ASFT is very agile in adapting to changing requirements. When it comes to hardware and network based maintenance training, this class was one of the most informative that I have attended."

To assist instructors in tracking a student’s progress during training, ASFT developed an open platform Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) component of the electronic classroom which displays the results of student training on instructor panels. IMI is now used at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island and the Navy Submarine School in Connecticut.

"[ASFT instructors] have done an outstanding job from day one, and have turned our I-Level Training program into a world class operation," remarks a project manager for the U.S. Navy Submarine Acoustic Towed Array Handling System. He wasn’t exaggerating. ASFT revamped classroom instruction, even salvaging and refurbishing a handling system for instruction and demonstration. The significant reduction in system damage, a direct result of the training program’s effectiveness, reduced Navy expenses by millions of dollars. Today, this training is held around the world, and is touted as one of the Navy’s primary success stories.
