how much does that school go for these days? Back about 6 yrs ago when I was first getting into the auto business I was gonna go to a school like wyotech and ended up being more impressed with UTI. These schools are a fortune these days.Quote:

i've heard that. they sure have a sales pitch, ill say that much. we get kids that go to these schools working at some of the places i've been and they dont make any money. The school jus shows them how to do things that absolute to the last detail way of doing things. Hence why they are slow and under deliver. real world experience is the best.Quote:

im anxious to see what this thread reveals....:zoom:
my opinion is that UTI is the better of the 2 schools if you wanna be an auto technician. They have backing from all the auto manufacturers. Wyotech is more for fabrication kind of kids.Quote:

You want Hot Rod U which is at UTI then. Either that, or SAM. The Schoolfor Automotive Machinists.Quote:

yeah, i'm plannin on doin fabrication and building vehicles later on, thats why i want to go to wyotech. they are the official school of the NHRA so they gotta be doin something good. and for my first classes its around 25 grand
I went to NADC. Nashville Auto Diesel College. I went for gas engines, diesel engines, heavy duty/ light duty drivetrain, transmission, welding, hydraulics, and quite a few others.
Then at the end I decided to go for the High-Performance gas engine 10 week course. That was the best thing I have ever done. The most fun class I have ever been threw. Learned so much, even though Im not using that in my career path as of now. I still loved it.
You've got that one right!Quote:
