Five campuses now teach the new curriculum in
their core automotive program; further rollouts are
planned.
PHOENIX, Oct. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Technical Institute, the transportation,
skilled trades, and energy education division of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., today
announced the expansion of its core automotive program to include
new BHEV and EV courses at UTI-Avondale and UTI-Orlando.
The new courseware builds on the hybrid and EV training
enhancements already deployed at UTI's
three California campuses in Sacramento, Rancho Cucamonga, and Long Beach. It introduces high-voltage vehicle
operation, explains electric vehicle components, operation,
diagnosis, and service, reviews electronic principles, and provides
unique training in electric battery vehicle system operation and
testing.
UTI Division President Tracy
Lorenz noted, "As the number of battery electric and
electric vehicles on the road increases, so does the need for
technicians trained to work on these complex cars and trucks. As
part of our commitment to prepare graduates for an industry with
ever-changing technology, we continue to evolve our curriculum
to meet the needs of the transportation industry."
Lorenz also stated, "We work closely with our OEM partners as
they update their curriculum in our manufacturer-specific advanced
training (MSAT) programs to develop new training modules with BHEV
and EV technology, further expanding UTI's EV training
ecosystem."
In recent months, UTI has updated its Ford FACT and BMW
FastTrack MSAT programs to include EV curriculum.
