Universal Technical Institute — Local services in Sacramento

If you are slightly curious about learning how to fix cars trucks diesels Auto paint collision, then this school is perfect for you the instructors are amazing and everyday I attend it brings me satisfaction. I'm taking the diesel course and welding. I have a few months left then I graduate. My time here has been amazing and I know for a fact that my future is in great hands and that my life will be amazing. I have to edit this a little bit , after reading some of the negative reviews. And I'm targeting the ones that say you won't get anything out of it except for working at small shops for minimum wage. I will say this. Just like in life, you're going to get what you put in. If YOU go out and you apply for a shop and YOU accept a job for minimum wage that's on YOU. Especially if you put in time at school. paid the amount and got the education, and you still settle for minimum wage. That's on you. Don't be angry at the school.

Those reviews sound like they come from spoiled brats who expect everything given to them. I work and go to school. I work in this field. And make a lot more than minimum wage. And I'm new to this industry. You know how I got this job? through hard work,and grinding, and pushing for this position. I met their minimum requirements, IE clean record IE clean driver license. They look for a specific gpa minimum, attendence. I had to go through and get a dot. Physical, several interviews, a bunch of online paperwork, background check, etc etc, .I have to get my drl.

yes it takes work but guess what you're getting in a company that has been around forever stop being freaking lazy. Or you can just do the minimum, see where that gets yuh.

I've done this With a kid and a second job and school. And I have great grades. I'm doing this solo. And I'm not that smart. I just work hard. I study. I take my education serious. so don't be lazy and blame the school for your shortcomings. Ok I'm done. Update: oct-2020 I've landed a great maintenance job. The various courses convinced with my life experienced in cathouse jobs, allowed me to land my final career. I will retire here

8-7-2025 his update my review. I had to take two stars back. So. I've been going back and forth. And u have to return to finish my class to get my cert. I have 4.5 months left. I dropped when COVID was a thing. I'm wanting to return. The thing now is I cannot get ahold of anyone. It takes days to get a call back or reply me if you miss the call, you're screwed. You can't call back because you're just going to a voicemail that CAN'T take any more voicemail... I didn't plan on starting for a few months. But. I need to get ahold of someone. The 4.5 months will cost quite a lot of money and I have to work around this schedule witch I understand. But no one's available for help. I'll probably look elsewhere if I and to get the diesel stuff going. Idk I tried to call and go through each different selection.i got one person but they just sent me through to the voice mail box that is full. It's been full for a long time. Please fix this issue. The school needs too fix the enrollment process and. The current staff needs to be expanded. The waiting game is insane. Update 8-13-25 Im still not able to get ahold of anyone. I call and call. Get someone who isn't to even from that Sacramento campus. Sends me to a cover mail( 16287) The number I got from FA doesn't even go through..? Is this...

Was excited at first. Went to the campus tour took my whole family  was going to be an exciting chapter in my life  my parents and I  made a lot of sacrifices  and saved up a good amount  money for housing and for the school itself. Did not want to drive back and fourth everday.  everything  seemed fine at first seeing  all the different  areas friendly staff(seemed like they were putting up a show) but once it got to the point of how the class was going to be paid qualify  for a money loan or program.. etc to  make the story short we followed it along.   And i did not qualify  for niether i dont even think he tried. I was committed  me and my parents had the money for if this happened. (Was not going to take a 2hr drive for nothing) but once the guide told me and my parents  "do guys have a rich family  member or sombody that can lend you the money" his exact words. We felt  discriminated.  We had the money   me and my family ask the rep if he can give us a couple minutes to think about it. Which  at that point we respectfully  walked away. Thank him for the tour.   I cried the way home  this is what me and my parents  were saving up for the past 3yrs. To pay my shcool and housing.  Opened up a family  business  with the money me and mostly parents  saved up.    Best decision  of my life.  All they care about is your money.  And i felt like they discrimated me and  my family.    They just want your money one way or another.  Im not saying there a bad school just the way they aproached  things its all...

The curriculum is somewhat out of date. Some of the instructors have been out of the field far to long to have relavent work experience. Also the cost to me far exceeded the value you will get out the educational experience. However if you can afford it will help you get in the door of some great companies you would not have access to otherwise. thier job fairs are second to none. the ppl in employment department are absolutely amazing they do alot for the students and guide them on what the job market is at and based on your grades what you can expect. I will say this there are good and bad things to this school there are alot of great instructors unfortunately you have to kinda figure out which ones are which . I will say I would not have the career path i do now if were not for some of the instructors there . I will say this if you don’t have any experience with cars or commercial vehicles I would not suggest you go here . You need to have the talent for this kinda work if you don’t you will fail and badly. Make sure you are honest with yourself and really understand do have base understanding if you don’t waste your money and the...
