been doing alot of reading and looking up things while im out here on the water and its given me alot to think about along with what some of the guys have been saying in the west section.... i have read alot of reviews and articals on UTI and WYOTech and they are both starting to get alot of bad press. at first i was thinking maybe it was some students that had a bad expiriance " which happens" then some of the former teachers where saying so of the same things. i have no idea what school to go to.. ive been looking around and everybody says they are the best....i love the south west az,nv,ca it really doesnt matter. i just want to get the best education for my money. i want to learn and be apart of something bigger than myself. any suggestions of other schools. i have finished most of the admin stuff for UTI i just want to be sure.

A few friends of mine came from UTI and all had similar experiences. While they agree that they had learned quite a bit from that school, if they could do it over again they wouldn't. Overall the program there was not what they were hoping it would be. Many students who did not enter a specific program such as the Honda or Toyota programs, were left to fend for them self.

From what i understand UTI holds a traditional academic education system. Which gives you tools and education for a specific job in the corporate industry. Leaving hardly any room for exploration and no path for individuals who do not necessarily want to be working at the service department at a dealership.

Many teachers left that school because they were being told what and how to teach. As if education in this field is black and white, and to deviate from the corporate system would be detrimental to manufacturers and dealerships that are looking to hire new low pay technicians.


This is what iv heard, take it with a grain of salt.

i surf the net cause it os all i can do right now. i look at the collages in AZ, CA, and NV. but when i look at a automotive program there are only 3 that pop up and WYO and UTI have alot of bad press. but i will go if that is where i will get the best education.
