In its 55-year-plus history, UTI has built relationships with industry leaders and delivers training that is aligned with employer needs.
UTI isn’t your typical school. Our programs were designed for those who learn best by doing and are looking for an accelerated path to preparing for a career. Our training programs begin every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the campus, and some programs can prepare students for the professional workforce in under a year.7
As a student, you’ll gain skills that directly apply to your future career. Our curriculum teaches everything from the ground up, so whether you have no prior experience or have worked in the industry for years, you can succeed at UTI.
Learning at UTI doesn’t take place in a typical lecture-hall setting. Instead, you’ll be training in dynamic classroom and lab environments where you’ll have the opportunity to work with the same tools and technologies used by technicians in the field. Along the way, you’ll have the support of instructors and staff who are committed to your success.
CAN I TRANSFER CREDITS TO UTI?
UTI/NASCAR Tech/MMI does not accept transfer credits from other institutions. However, students with relevant prior coursework or experience may attempt to test out of the course. If the student passes the test, the course status becomes “tested out.”
