The same can be said for ANY training program. It depends on the individual person. I know people with PhD's...they're still idiots. It's not the training that makes you good, it what kind of retention you have and whether or not you actually learn from experience or your mistakes.

I dont' know anything abou UTI other than it's a trade school. Like any trade school it's what you get out of the program that's going to make or break you.

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting my ASE after I finish my undergrad, just to keep my options open.

its worth going if your looking for a career, you'll get paid more regardless of what you know if your graduate any tech school for automotive, but if your looking more for personal knowledge, don't bother honestly you really dont learn much
