Campus Life & What To Expect From Training

At UTI Sacramento, you won’t just study how things work; you’ll learn how to make them work. Train in labs that mirror real-work environments, using some of the same tools and technology as professional technicians. With instructors who’ve worked in the industry, your education goes beyond technical skills.

Your education is mentorship from people who know what it takes to succeed in the field, and that’s where you’ll find our grads—making roaring engines even more powerful in the auto and diesel industry; building and repairing metal parts with nothing more than a welding torch; or on the go, ready to save the day by restoring a building’s cooling.
