I have an interview on Wednesday with someone at the UTI Norwood, Mass. campus. (they screen the individuals before they go any further.) I am looking to take the automotive repair classes. Has anyone had experience with a UTI school and how was it?
THANKS!!

There was recently a thread on one of the forums about them. Seems it's very expensive. Do your due diligence.

Thanks Todd.
I did do a search but only 2 hits came up on it here. Unemployment will be paying the tuition. Like I said, I have an interview with someone on Wednesday morning and will find out all the info and do a school tour then. Also talk to someone in the financial department about all that good stuff.

I went in 1994. Expensive, but it build contacts you could not get else where. It sure helps on the resume, but the right attitude and the willingness to learn goes a lot further. You get what you put into it. Tech schools only teach the basics.

The commercials lie.

My employee went to UTI and he is great. He does all my engine work and assembly. He also does some small fab work. He say's that it was a great program and that you have to want to learn to make it worthwhile. Once I get settled into my new shop I am thinking about giving them a call to see if they have anyone else. If you have any questions about the program let me know and maybe he could answer some of them. Thanks, Jon.

I could never afford it but know if I could you would have to kick me out to get me to leave!!! There is alot of knowledge there along with your willingness to learn could become a great thing so no skipping class,going in hung over etc you have a chance here most people would love to have if you get accept. Best of luck to you though!!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I really appreciate them.
I will put 110% into these classes. I am a car guy and a hard worker, so I will be all over it. PLUS, this will be a future career for me as well. (who knows, maybe I'll be building someone's car that belongs to this site. OR, better yet, be working for one of the premier shops that are featured here on lateral-g.net?)
Again, thanks for the replies.
