About Aeronautical Training Center
The Aeronautical Training Center (ATC) is a key part of Trident Technical College, located on the Thornley Campus in North Charleston. Opened around 2019–2020, ATC supports aviation training with modern labs, classrooms, and two main event spaces designed for conferences, trainings, and industry partnerships. While primarily an educational facility, ATC also hosts ribbon ceremonies, industry trainings, and collaborative events in a professional environment conducive to networking and learning.
Venue highlights include the Aviation Room and Skyview Room for meetings and gatherings, plus the College Center at Thornley Campus for larger conferences and banquets. Whether you’re coordinating a training session, a formal luncheon, or a corporate event, we’ll help you secure suitable accommodations and plan your visit with practical details you can rely on.
Location, access, and nearby lodging and dining options are convenient for attendees traveling from across the region. ATC sits on Rivers Avenue with easy access to Charleston area transit and local hotels, making it a practical choice for educational events, industry partner gatherings, and professional development sessions.
