Take the First Step Toward Your Mechanic Career Now!
Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Phoenix, Universal Technical Institute's (NYSE: UTI) mission is to serve students, partners, and communities by providing quality education and support services for in-demand careers. Approximately 250,000 students have graduated from one of UTI's 15 campuses located across Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas.
UTI's campuses are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), while its employer-aligned technical training programs are offered under four brands: Universal Technical Institute (UTI), Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) / Marine Mechanics Institute (MMI), NASCAR Technical Institute (NASCAR Tech), and MIAT College of Technology.
Learn by doing during your automotive mechanic training as you take on the maintenance and repair of both import and domestic vehicles. You'll work on everything from simple engine systems to power and performance machines. With UTI's Automotive Technology program, you'll earn credit toward professional automotive mechanic certifications, gain industry-related experience and prepare yourself for an in-demand career that fits your passion.
In less than a year, you could be a trained automotive technician*7. It all starts with completing a core program at one of our auto mechanic schools. These foundational courses build your base knowledge from the ground up, teaching you how to diagnose, maintain and repair domestic and foreign vehicles like a true automotive professional. From here, you can move on to Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training courses*15.
Our campuses feature a blended learning model, which combines instructor-led online training with hands-on application in the lab*18. This training provides more flexibility for you as a student and also prepares you for the type of training you’ll experience in the field.
While our Automotive Technology program is not an online mechanic school, students typically spend about half their day completing online coursework and about half in the lab.
7) Some programs may require longer than one year to complete.
8) UTI now offers all of its automotive, diesel, motorcycle and marine technician training in a blended learning format consisting of online lecture courses along with in-person, hands-on lab training.
15) Manufacturer-paid advanced training programs are conducted by UTI on behalf of manufacturers who determine acceptance criteria and conditions. These programs are not part of UTI’s accreditation. Programs available at select locations.
Accidents happen on the roadways, and trained auto body technicians are needed to fix the damage. UTI's certified instructors bring real-world industry experience to teach you the skills needed to reshape and restore a wide range of vehicles. Universal Technical Institute’s Collision Repair & Refinish Technology (CRRT) program was developed in close partnership with I-CAR, the provider of collision repair training standards as defined by the industry, including car manufacturers, insurance companies and employers.
Refinish technicians, also known as automotive painters or paint technicians, are trained to mix and apply paint to the surface of a vehicle and help restore it to pre-accident condition.
To learn how to paint cars, most automotive painters go through some sort of formal training and education to gain the skills they need. Attending a program at a trade school can be the best place to start for those interested in the career path.
Automotive Painting Courses
UTI’s CRRT program features several auto body repair courses, including ones that cover how to refinish and paint vehicles:
While the CRRT program does not specifically teach car painting, students learn fundamentals and gain experience that they could apply to a career as a paint technician once they graduate.
In less than a year(7) you could train to be a diesel technician. It all starts with completing a core diesel program. These foundational courses build your base knowledge from the ground up, teaching you how to diagnose, repair, and replace like a true big engine professional. From here, you can move on to specialized advanced training on diesel trucks and engines from leading brands.
The Diesel program follows a blended learning model, which includes a mix of online instructor-led training with hands-on application in the lab(18). This allows students to experience what training is like in the workforce and offers more flexibility with schedules.
UTI is not an online diesel mechanic school, but students will spend about half of a typical six-hour day on online coursework. The other half is typically spent in the lab.
7) Some programs may require longer than one year to complete.
18) UTI now offers all of its automotive, diesel, motorcycle and marine technician training in a blended learning format consisting of online lecture courses along with in-person, hands-on lab training.

Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on generating energy with cost-efficient, environmentally friendly sources. This has created a variety of career avenues that can be pursued in the energy industry. In just 30 weeks, students in the Wind Turbine Technician training program gain the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to become wind turbine technician(1).
Wind turbine technicians inspect and service wind turbine towers. This is typically done by climbing a ladder inside the turbine or riding an elevator to the desired working height. In some cases, they’re lifted by helicopter!
Students in this program learn the skills they need to feel confident working in entry-level positions. Most of our grads start out working as entry-level technicians or in other entry-level roles. As with any industry, over time, you may be able to advance in your career with hard work. Some entry-level and advanced roles could include(77):

Wind turbine service technicians install, maintain, and repair the three major components of the turbine, including the tower, blades, and nacelle, on a regular basis. This is done by entering the turbine through the base of the tower and climbing a ladder or riding an elevator up through the tower shaft. Depending on the task at hand, wind turbine technicians may be suspended hundreds of feet in the air! When needed, it’s not uncommon for helicopters to raise wind turbine technicians up to the desired working height.
Wind turbine technician skills include:
