well i understand going for that but if you were going for collision repair i was going to tell you wasting your money cause you spend 98% of your time in a class room and not doing a lot of hands on shop time. you local technical training colleges are great cause you spend 95% in the shop doing stuff with your hands while you learn the other 5% is on testing. i recently won 1st place at skillsusa and then went to nationals and placed 10th in the nation im happy with tenth i beat the wyotech and uti guys

I have a friend whos been teaching me body work and paint for the past 2 years and with a back injury I wouldnt cut it as a body guy. My yota will be the first truck or vehicle I will ever paint it might turn out good it might not turn out so good but I can say I did all the work myself in the end.
UTI is more known for the auto mechanics not the body shop side of the biz
your right about the local tech school being more hands on with thier teaching methods
