Meet the Team

José Alentado's favorite daughter, Andrea Alentado, has been brought up around Law Enforcement her whole life. Both of her parents were raised in Miami. Even though they both went to Coral Gables High School, they didn't meet until years later at Gainesville Police Department. Andrea has always looked up to her father for his "need for speed" in his career. He came to this country with very little and continued to grow himself and his career until he had built his own company, brand and reputation to what is considered the most effective Public Safety Spanish Training Program in the United States. With the loss of her Father still fresh in her heart and in her mind, she is striving to keep his legacy alive. To honor her Father she has changed the name of the company from Partners In Training Consultants to Alentado Training Consultants. The safety of Law Enforcement, First Responders and Civilians alike, through training programs like these offered through Alentado Training Consultants, was José's first priority. Andrea Alentado has an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts and is completing her Bachelor's in Business Management and Professional Development.
