As an intern I am free.
I am in Automotive school and I am doing the Ford ASSET program. I have 1 year left and when I graduate I will have an A.S in automotive technology, ALL my ASE's and I will have also completed all my online training, making me a fully certified Ford Technician.
For my online ford training I have a password and starts ID for FordTechService.com. There are different tests, classes, etc within each system. HVAC, Electrical, Steering, etc... Each section has multiple test I must pass and they are ford specific. Every company has their own type of training. Find a school that will get you the factory training through the actual manufacturer. Do NOT go to s school where you just get a certificate of completion. UTI is an example of where you do not want to go.
umm UTI carries Manufactuer specific training, the Ford FACT program is basically the same EXCEPT that you have internships and we do not.
I went through that program and had to do the online training, online test, Stars ID..etc and go and get the Certs, i have 12 certifications through Ford. SO if you go to any school get the most, and do a manufacturer specific. Which NO manufacturer specific can touch FORD's Traing. Period!!!!
It all boils down to money you want to spend, NOW if you go to UTI for strictly the Core training, then yes its a waste, but if you utilize the school to its full potential its a great school!
and i think you can agree with me on this, No school will make you smarter or help you make more money, ITS UP TO YOU to keep your grades up and show up everyday and LEARN it, not go through motions.
