"What drew me to UTI was furthering my knowledge in diagnostic capabilities so that I could fix the things I was breaking." Jason Albright's journey began with a love for building engines, but diagnosing issues remained a challenge. UTI's core Automotive Technology program provided him with the theoretical and diagnostic skills he needed to transform his passion into a professional path.*But Jason was striving for more, so he decided to pursue a manufacturer-specific advanced training program at UTI. As a graduate from Ford FACT program, Jason left with 11 certifications and a newfound confidence."FACT taught me to think on my own and really think about what I was diagnosing when I was diagnosing it."
