Certificates of completion and special education diplomas: Students who have a certificate of high school completion or a special education diploma that did not meet all state standards-based requirements (i.e., completed all courses but did not pass testing) must provide a copy of a state-issued GED or state-authorized equivalent exam prior to starting class. 

Foreign education: If you completed school outside the U.S., your documents may require a third-party evaluation (at your expense) before acceptance. 

All instruction at UTI is in English. Prospective students can show English language proficiency through one of the following:  

• Graduation from a U.S. high school 
• Graduation from a high school in a country where English is the primary language or where English as a secondary language is mandatory.  
• A U.S. GED certificate or equivalent.  

If documents aren't available, proficiency is determined during the admissions interview process.  

Note: 

• UTI does not offer English language proficiency testing or English language learning services.   
• A TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) may be required if fluency is unclear.
