DEDICATED TO CREATING TOMORROW'S MILITARY ELITE
Our Story
- Founded in 2019 by former military education directors and test developers, Elite Minds emerged from a simple observation: too many qualified candidates were failing the ASVAB due to poor preparation, not lack of ability.
- We partnered with the Armed Forces Training Academy (AFTA) to create a revolutionary system that doesn't just teach content—it transforms how recruits think, study, and perform under pressure.
- In just 5 years, we've helped 12,847+ future service members achieve their military dreams, with an unprecedented 99% first-time pass rate.
- Our mission is simple: No qualified American should be denied military service due to inadequate test preparation.
