Campus Life & What To Expect From Training
At UTI Avondale, you won’t just learn how things work; you’ll learn how to make them work. You’ll train in labs that look like the industry you’re preparing for and get comfortable using some of the same tools professional techs do. Having worked in the field themselves, your instructors will double as mentors, helping you become the kind of technician employers want.1
This campus’ employer relationships and advanced training options can help you pursue the role you want, just like our grads have. You might find them tuning up high-performance engines, elbow deep in a big rig, underneath the hood of a welding helmet with sparks flying around them, or on their way to help a business restore their air conditioner!
