Student Testimonials
'What I liked most about UTI were the opportunities I had as well as the MSAT programs that were available to me. The hands-on program at UTI taught me the skills to become a technician in the real world because I was able to actually put what I was learning into practice.'
-Jake De St. Hubert, UTI Graduate
'Going into UTI, I knew my skills were modest but UTI gave me the knowledge I needed to work at a dealership. I thought the instructors were good, engaging and helped me with the course work.'
-Keaton Kramer, UTI Graduate
'I felt like I had a mechanical mind but not the fundamental knowledge of motorcycles, so I liked that the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute program was in-depth and focused. The lab work was important to me as I learn best in a hands-on environment. Motorcycle Mechanics Institute gave me the practical application on the bikes I would work on in the industry.'
