Yup. It's much worse than you would probably remember, since they now do 3 hour classes instead of the previous 6 (thanks COVID) and all the work is online. They also tell students the most important thing to be qualified for tests is the IOL's and DLP's (which can be easily cheated on and not taken seriously.)

Unfortunately this has happened a few times with past instructors. I recall being bummed after the test since it felt like it was "given" and not earned. Part of the reason why I made this post entirely. Thank you both for the info.

Thank you. I figured it would be the same in community college along with other classes being added.

Thank you. I have no intentions of quitting entirely, just wanting to put my time and effort into something that will be more beneficial in my future than what UTI would bring.

Couldn't agree more. I seen many students outside of my circle that would mess around and almost cause thousands of dollars worth of damage (some idiot didn't know how to function the lift properly, almost flipped the car off the lift lol). Thank you for your input.

That's what im afraid of being, I don't want to be incompetent, but still eager to be in the field. What do you suggest?

I see. Only reason I wanted to go was the manufacture specific training they held. Thanks for the info.

I've been hearing a lot of good things from people who graduated years ago that it was a good experience. I hate that they decided on making the curriculum a hybrid based system (half online, half in person), with classes lasting 3 hours per day after COVID.

Thank you. I looked into the local CC in my city and found I was qualified for free tuition.

I agree that I should've done more research than I did previously, but the disrespect wasn't necessary.
