Universal Technical Institute (UTI) launched its new BMW FastTrack technician training program at the Orlando, Fla. campus, the second location to begin offering the 12-week advanced training program. The program provides training on the latest BMW models in production, utilizing the tools, technology, and procedures that are specific and proprietary to BMW vehicles. Students who complete UTI's core automotive program is eligible to apply for the additional BMW-specific training, which includes four technologies: workshop, electrical, chassis, and drive-train. Once the BMW FastTrack curriculum is complete, students can earn seven BMW factory credentials and a BMW Associate Level Certification after passing BMW-specific ASE testing and assessments. Graduates may also apply for additional, advanced training in the BMW STEP program, which is offered at BMW locations. "This program makes our graduates even more prepared to enter the automotive workforce as BMW technicians immediately upon graduation," said Timothy Dauber, campus president at UTI-Orlando. "Graduates who go to work at a BMW dealership may also be eligible for tuition reimbursement and other incentives, so it's a great opportunity for our students to increase their knowledge and prepare for a rewarding, lifelong career." "There is a need for more highly skilled BMW technicians across our dealer network, so our alliance with Universal Technical Institute is critical to ensuring our dealers have the staff they need, and our customers receive the exemplary service they've come to expect," said Gary Uyematsu, national technical training manager, BMW of North America. The BMW FastTrack program launched at UTI's Avondale, Ariz, in January; the program is slated to begin at UTI-Long Beach in April 2022, with additional campuses planned for later in the year. |
