I also went to UTI. HUGE waste of time and money. If you have any knowledge of cars now, don't bother going there. They teach you like you know NOTHING about cars at all, more than half the time I spent their I was learning about stuff I already knew. When you do get to do hands on, it has to be on your own car most of the time, and even then they don't let you do anything big that takes more than a an hour or so because the next class needs to use the shop. There are SO many kids there, because either they got a free ride from the state or mommy and daddy sent them there just to get them out of the house, so they just cause a scene in the classroom all the time and give the instructors such a hard time that they can't teach anything. I think if the would do testing BEFORE you got into school and make sure you were serious it would be much better. The tour guides seriously lie to you so much and its NOTHING like they make it out to be. The best advice I can give you is if you already know a good bit about cars, don't waste your time at UTI, I've learned so much more working in a shop then I did at uti.
The best thing they did for me was help me find a job. I work at a dealership and make 16 an hour, its a flatrate shop and sometimes we are really slow so that sucks.
