neither both are a waste of money. Better off going to a jc that has an auto program. LMC has a good program with good teachers who know their stuff.

When I was going to school there where kids who did the wyotech thing and still didnt know crap and ended back at a real school. But like anything you get back what you put into it.

My buddy Thomas went to Wyotech, and everyone told him the school is worthless and you will get nothing out of it. He ended up working for Big-O tires for three years while looking for a big boy job. He always had it rubbed in his face that he wasted his money, and that hes gonna work at big-o the rest of his life. I always said he was gonna find something better. He now builds race cars for a BMW shop in san jose, and makes 100K+ a year. So if you work hard, and want it, they with both do well for you.

Went to the Phx UTI and through the Ford Fact program, took me 2 days to get a job in a Ford dealership been doing it for 10 years now. If you take the classes seriously and take the oppertunity to learn what they are teaching you will learn a great deal. I went in knowing everything and learned lots lol

UTI Phoenix, AZ.
When you graduate you get an Associates Degree.

When you complete the course in California all you get is a Certificate of Completion.

You have a great example, see a college degree is just a piece of paper (I got 3 of them), what you do after that is up to you. If you work hard you will make the right connection, which you will end up doing well.

Its not the school that count, its the STUDENT, and what he or she does that counts. Now don't get me wrong lots of people out there without any college degree and are doing very well for themselves.

I was grandfathered into an A/C company and started doin construction. Every idiot that came in with schooling from Gayotech didn't know shit and at 23 years old I was running circles around everyone that had schooling. It was clowned how they spent hella money on school to learn theory but when it came to onsite-knowing-what-the-fuck-is-crackin they were clueless. Not only that, but Gayotech taught them so much that they were sent to a CC to brush up on there skills as soon as they were hired. Nobody knew shit about shit but me and my boy D. He was also also grandfathered by the Man. Only two out the 9 dudes that went to school actually learned somethin in school. One loves men and the other is a player in the game. He started his own company and makes more money than Bill Gates now...

Then came Tone... But that's another story

Cliff Notes: u get what what u put in, its not who u know, but who knows u. Lastly, No one is ever gonna give it to u but if u aint got it, u cud get it.

UTI and Wyotech is a huge waste of money. As stated above, go to College of Alameda.
