- Experience a day in the life as an automotive / diesel technology student at Universal Technical Institute (UTI) with Britton Bowen as he takes you through each hour of his day.
This Day in the Life video was filmed in 2016. In response to the COVID pandemic, UTI now offers all of its lecture courses through distance learning only. Students attend hands-on lab training on campus in compliance with local and national COVID safety precautions, including mandatory masks.
From arriving for his first class at 7:30 a.m. to diagnosing vehicles in his hands-on labs and working his part-time job afterward, Britton displays what it's like to live the life of a UTI student. See Britton work in classes like diagnostics to get a feel for what it's like to attend UTI.
The curricula prepared at UTI schools is geared toward all students interested in joining today's automotive or diesel workforces. No previous mechanic experience is required. Our students span from having zero prior automotive knowledge to those who come from a family of mechanics and are looking to further their abilities.

Good luck to all students of 2022! Cavender Auto Family is cheering you on!
I recently enrolled into UTI,this video made me question if its right for me,it seems like these people already know what they are doing completely,I wanted to join this school to learn and be able to physically work on vehicles,because I don’t know much at all right now.
Thank you for the comment. Our program is designed for students with little to no prior experience. If you have the desire to learn and apply hard work, we will teach you the "how to"... thanks!!
Did u finish .?how did u like it
@@almapac2757 school is alright I'm currently enrolled in the DFW campus. Came in with no knowledge about cars to now working at an infinity dealership as a technician. Put in the work to learn do the homework and make sure you pay attention.
@@almapac2757 I love the school.
How’s the money ?
I want to go here so badly. It looks so amazing
We will be here when you are ready!
Graduated back on 2003 from UTI. I’ve worked as a heavy equipment technician for caterpillar, coal mines, now for homeland security.
We love to hear it, please stay in touch!
Amazing can’t wait to start
We can't wait to see you on campus!
I’m a student in high school and UTI is catching my eye I’ve recently been helping my dad with his mechanic shop and I’m loving it so far and man I would love to get accepted into this program
Check out uti.edu for more program details, and if you get the chance, take a campus tour to see if it is something you'd like to pursue. Thanks!
Universal Technical Institute love how fast u guys respond and will do
Don’t do UTI its a waste of money. Especially if your dad owns a mechanic shop you can get all of the experience you need there.
I can’t wait to go here I’m only in 7th grade but it sure damn beats this shit
I know man
There's a lot of people who keep saying that the school is garbage, but it's only garbage if you make it garbage
@@lilblickyboyz5364 I’m in 9th grade now and tomorrow for my college and careers class we’re have a dude from UTI doing a virtual class with us it’s gonna be awesome
@@dislodgedgrump9056 I'm in 9th too but I'm not good at algebra so I'm probably going to repeat 9th grade
@@lilblickyboyz5364 dude same lmao my grades are really bad
I’m surprised so many people say don’t go here. We had someone who gave us a presentation for uti in my mechanics class. He also went to uti. And he was really motivating us to go there, and made it seem like if you go here you could get a job right away paying 20$ an hour. Then increase your pay and whole bunch of other stuff.
This industry isn't for everyone, but for some, it's perfect! Thx for the comment!
As someone that never attended this school and changed their mind to NOT attend , I see it as an absolute WIN. 😊
I wanna do all that cool stuff !!
I’m starting this December 🥳
how is it??? im planning on attending n have been hearing too much negative stuff lol
I remember wanting to do automotive at uti or community college. Never did But I am a agronomist now and I have learned to fix all of my diesel and Ag equipment haha lol. I wanted to learn the science of plants because nobody else can teach me that but I can always learn mechanics and automotive skills on my own by fixing them myself.
Is there provide wages in learning period. Is there accept international students.
+Universal Technical Institute, please upload more diesel technician videos!
Thanks! We will see what we can get together. ;)
I know this would sound stupid but do You guys use paper 📝
Out of the 7 careers they offer which one pays more?
Oh I can’t wait just now I start in august of 2022
how was it? im planning on attendingbut im hearing too many negatives
Quick question. Why would I want to go to a school called UTI. They couldn’t think of anything better than UTI. Really??
😭😭 I miss Mr. Garman!
@tieuquy linthinh No, he resigned 😭😭
Okay, anyone else think it is funny that the initials for this school are UTI?
I have been searching for Truck engine' electric board control. Does your school have this program?
Hi David, thank you for the comment, check out our site for a complete list of courses that we offer: www.uti.edu/programs
Hello I just stubbled across this video and I want to get into diesel but I don’t have any clue about how everything works 😕 I don’t want to go in and be a complete noob and not know what to do. 😞 I haven’t had any experience and I only have one year left of high school can you pls help me.
I would love to go to UTI but based on a little bit of research there is none in Washington state. I'm currently in 11th grade and have done some research and think a easy way to go would be clover park college because you don't need a good SAT score and has aid for low income. The only reason why I would stay in Washington is because I have a scholarship bound thing to any college as long as it's in Washington with the addition of aid and that means that the UTIs in Florida, Texas, California, and other places could not work for me.
Ive read alot of bad things about UTI but I'm interested as well . (PS. I'm in 11th grade as well hehe)
Yeah I have now done a lot of research and video watching and asking questions. And I believe I will be trying to go there when I graduate and go for diesel mechanic.
Okay so heres the gig with UTI, its a great school if youre willing to put in the work.
Raiders County I’m from Washington state and moved to the Avondale campus in Arizona I Love It but you have to put in the effort... it’s well worth living in AZ i like that i don’t have to deal with the rain for 2/3 of the year anymore
@@luke40531 do thy have dorms or would i have to get a apartment
I want to find out more about UTI diesel program
Titz S im starting july most likely
If you post a bad video of them there will be hell to pay with your 35.000.00 min entrance fee
What if you have no clue or experience with working on cars? Will UTI still be difficult??
Thank you for the comment, our programs are designed for students with little to no prior experience. Thank you!
Is this an everyday school? Or part time, like a couple days a week?
The course is full-time, Monday through Friday. More info at uti.edu - thank you!
I know what collage I’m going to, I hope I get into this.
ThatOneWorldWar2 Nerd me too. A guy came into my automotive class and he made this school sound so good
Jackson Meads I want to go but the more I look around the worse this school gets they seem to charge high for normal based things
OscarSantHdz I know but the guy who came to our school basically said that you are most likely guarentwd to make 6 figure by like the third year
Dead Channel yea that’s a lie unless you are going to own the shop or be working at a tuner I’m now switching over to computer science to get my bachelors in that you start anywhere from 68,000-100,000 and you can get a raise after 1 year or more depending on where you work!
@@BlueCivid Yeah, but understand that it's not all about money. If you work for money, you're not going to like your job. You can do it and maybe in the beginning you might like it, but if it's not something you've wanted to do, then enjoy hating everyday you go.
Okay I’m going in on June of 2021, I honestly have no experience at all, is that bad ? I nervous
I’m *
The training is for students with little to no prior experience - if you have a passion for hands-on learning and are willing to put in the work, we can teach you the rest!
On a scale of 1 to 10
and with an educated guess based off of factual data:
A 3.5 GPA is near perfect. No doubt impressive in any circumstance.
How difficult and what would be the average percentage of people who have this goal and achieve it?
I got a 3.0 GPA once in HS, just to get my license.
I took auto/diesel/industrial & Ford FACT 2006-2008 and graduated with a 3.5 overall. They factor in your attendance as part of your grade. I'm from Alaska, and when I had family come to visit, I missed some time.
I paid (still am...) Close to $50k, and that was in 2006. It's gotta run $100k in today's world.
If you can afford it (military) Id say... Really do your research before signing on the dotted line. Go to the shops around you and talk with some of the techs and get their input.
Sense 2008, the UTI deploma helped me get a job once. Now it just happenwd to be the best paying job I've even had. And UTI doesn't teach anything on military equipment. Just saying.
@@ridingwiththereids I'm currently taking auto/diesel II and it is still 50k
let them pay more if there is a true shortage !!!
companies must supply all tools shortage ????
I am in 10th grade now i know what change i am going
Lilrichlife Richlife same. I'm probably going to get my GED and head off to uti and get my shop going
@@Gabriel-zv3dt just letting you know that you should be prepared for the amount it cost to do the schooling. It could cost upward of 40,000 dollars based off a graduate of UTI that works at Mercedes that had informed me
Do pay these schools 35.000.00 get a real education at a local school same stuff alot cheaper
@@Gabriel-zv3dt exact same here. college is a trap.
@@Gabriel-zv3dt me too
Nice Wyoming flag!
Do they let you work on your own truck/car there if it had electrical/fuel/diesel problems and have your team help you?? Great vid
I’m in the Houston uti school and they don’t let you work on them at the school .
They don’t let you work on them. You have labs and if you want to work on them it has to be a super easy fix you are not going to pull your own motor out and get to work on it. Lol if you have a flat tire then yeah.....maybe lol it’s it’s an alignment they yeah. The fix has to be quick and easy can’t stay over night type of work. Wondering why UTI never responded to your question they sure did respond to everything else lol
They have designated weekends to bring in your car to work on, only for those who do their work in class though.
Don’t waste your time and money at this school, go to an actual college where they offer an automotive program, my dad went to the one in skyline college (San Bruno California)
Thank you for the comment. Students interested in pursuing automotive training have many choices. We encourage everyone to do their research and pick a program that best lines up with their goals and circumstances. Thank you!
Universal Technical Institute Unlike the guy talked down about this school, I pay no attention to those type of people. I’m not cut out for college. I’m going to Universal Technical Institute to pursue a career as an Automotive Technician and I’m excited about it
@@kirbyvoss5477 I understand your not cut out for college but there are community colleges that are TRADE SCHOOLS like UTI have nearly the same education.. wouldn't you rather go to a 2 year program get paid (financial aid) for $12,000 that's broken up in that 2 years.. THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER.. Feels like I'm getting paid to learn.. feels good... food for thought..
NevrBDwn Ruby Yeah, I understand your point. But when my Auto class in Highschool took a tour of this school, I was blown away. It was awesome. And I really think this is the school for me. It’s like my dream school you know. While community colleges that provide auto training may seem like a better option, and that may be true too. Well, UTI felt right for me. I had a feeling in me you know. Plus, although this school is expensive, I have a trust fund. So lmao I’m one of those kids😂. So yeah, money ain’t an issue. But yeah this school feels right for me. I really appreciate your feedback too man!
NevrBDwn Ruby yea but u there is one thing that u don’t know uti has the largest meeting for business men to recruit people I to the work for ranging from pretty much any automotive or Diesel job...... just saying
I have a interview with someone tomorrow wish me luck
I graduated 4.0, perfect attendence, and went and worked for Caterpillar. This place is legit but do NOT TAKE OUT STUDENT LOANS FOR PERSONAL USE!!! Student loans for school are great, but taking them out for recreation or living expenses is a bad idea.
By the end you make your Signature a squibbel lol class of 09 sac auto diesel fact
I’m a 13 year old. Next year going to high school, my school won’t probably have auto technology, so as a 14 year old could I be a student here?
Thank you for the comment. A HS diploma or GED is required to attend the program. We will be here when you are ready!!
Iketani Koichiro ey Initial D boiss
Yeah I was disappointed to find out my high school didn’t have automotive classes, but my dads a mechanic so he teaches me instead, I hope to be able to attend once I graduate HS, especially since I live like 10 minutes away.
5 hour work day?
Classes are about 5 hours per day, and most students work outside jobs around their school schedule, thanks!
I am from north Africa I am interested to study in the UTI . It's possible they accept me ?
Yes, International Students can attend the program. More information is on our site here: www.uti.edu - thanks!
I have one dad at UTI he working at Utah
Planning on attending soon, is that how the classes are regularly?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, this is a typical day at school. Students have different part-time jobs after class, so that could be different for each student, but the classroom and lab activity shown in the video is a normal day. Thanks!
No it’s not. 75% class room test every 3 days and 25% is labs with work sheets.
Depends on the phase you take. Each phase is different not all are 50/50.
@@ariczacari Dude, who are you? I see you on every comment making outlandish statements left and right. Did you get rejected or something? Or are you just hating on a popular college for no reason?
Anyone else attending the NASCAR Program August 31, 2020?
I’m going in jun, 2020.
At Huston, wbu?
I'm there now I graduate in November if you ever need anything feel free to ask Mooresville NC is crazy but a very enjoyable area especially being close to Charlotte. The campus has a lot of events and shows that were going on before Corona hit and if you are looking at student housing I would personally recommend getting your own room through CHS or if you can afford an apartment.
Nice
I graduated from this school and by far it had been a mistake please do your research before committing I definitely regret it
We are sorry to learn how you feel about your decision, however we wish you nothing but the best in your career. Thank you.
How come bro?
Could you please explain why I recently applied to this school and idk If I should still go everyone is saying not to go
@@bananalion2012 first of everything they had this housing program call chs and they fucked me over sooooo much every month with rent money knowing I was a full time student with part time job secondly the teacher honestly didn’t care about your career or knowledge as a mechanic 3 weeks a course isn’t enough to fully understand any system no matter how good of a learner you are they would push you to do the work to make themselves look good and when you would ask questions there was never enough time to get full answer we were always to busy trying to get the paper work and lab done and had high expectations that you would learn yesterday’s lesson the following day the only reason why I succeeded as a mechanic was due to my current job taking the time and explaining everything step by step the only good this school did for me was get me a piece a paper stating I can work in the diesel field try your local cummunity colleges and see what programs they have to offer first I’m in debt and I fucking regret uti with a passion sincerely Tlopez
@@ocho8478 after reading this I’m concerned about going, I have little experience with that so I feel like it’s going to be complicated and now I’m scared that 3 weeks won’t be enough time to understand the course
There’s no online course full online
?
Thank you for the comment. We do not offer a full online course. Our students use an online platform for their lectures, and come to campus for in-person hands on labs. Thank you.
Question do we have our own rooms there or naw
I'm only in 9th grade and this is school is🔥🔥🔥
Great question. All students live off campus in apartments or rental houses. Students can chose to live alone or they can chose to live with roommates. More info about Housing at uti.edu - thanks!
Universal Technical Institute does gi bill provide housing
Universal Technical Institute housing for students
Whats the tuition fee

If you have any questions, including Financial Aid and Scholarships, pls contact the Admissions Department at 1-800-834-7308. Thank you.
Mine was about $50k for automotive tech
JJ Amaya was it worth it? Debating on going to the one near Dallas. But I’m hearing mixed things about it
JJ Amaya what?!?! 50K?!?!? For what? How? To be a mechanic? You paid that much??????? Why?
I am a kod in elementary school i want to go there
What would be the homework
Online training called IOL's.
Basically a slideshow with voices, Then a test at the end of each topic.
@@GreenlemensProductions sounds like its S/P2. Might aswell be honestly.
I got accepted
We can't wait to see you on campus!
Why 50k ? I literally learned by just taking a car apart.
Thank you for the comment, you bring up a great point. Students that are interested in a technical education typically have the goal of pursuing a career as a professional technician, rather than working on their personal vehicle. When shops and dealerships are looking to fill open positions, they look for experience or education. Thanks again!
They make car manuals for every car and how to fix them all the way down to the torque specs of a bolt. It's not hard to fix any car as long as you have this and the right tools for the job. That 50k could buy every book and tool that you need plus some to start a business of your own or make a fast car that is unique.
In my experience part of what I paid for were the connections and relationships made while I was at UTI. I still benefit from some of those connections 15 years after graduation. There's a lot more to going to school than just the $ part.
Universal Technical Institute hell no! They are not looking for UTI grads stop lying. They laugh every time they see an application from UTI.
JDlucky1 so you agree with what UTI just stated? You been working in this type of a field for 15 years, and agree that when you see a UTI student get hired you are fully confident he can do EVERYTHING on his own? Coming out of school? You would hire him? Put him on master tech level? Or would you hire him and put him on lube? Working 10-12$ and hour. I see what you mean on connection. But what UTI is saying is false.
urinary tract infection
50% grad rate & the reviews were horrible people were getting blacklisted on jobs for attending uti.. was actually excited to go but after finding that all out + the 55grand yeah no thanks
