History
Professional Training Associates, Inc. (PTA) is a partnership-based small business formed in 1998 by like-minded safety & health training professionals who felt the need to create a company that could develop and deliver training curriculum, freely, in a manner that was not possible under previous business restraints. In April of that year, PTA with assistance from the Steel Valley Authority began operations at 1 Library Place in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. Quickly outgrowing its original space, PTA moved its current training center to the historic Stores Building location at the former US Steel Duquesne Works.
