What credentials do I earn?
Students earn 5 NCCER industry credentials during training, and the programs are ACCSC-accredited.
How much does UTI cost?
There is no single price — cost of attendance varies by campus and program because both direct costs (tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment) and indirect costs (housing, food, transportation) differ by location and program length.
