wyotech

[soon2bdropped]

hi as you guys know i want to be a skillfull mechanic after graduating high school..

What i was wondering if wyotech is a good school.. well the instructors be able to tell me whats a combustion, how it works.. internal parts of an engine and what each does.. How does a piston move up and down.. OR will i be in a garage all day getting hand on experience and thats it.. I mean the instructor just can't say okay the fuel pump stop working.. guys replace the fuel pump.. they can't just tell you to do something without you know how a fuel pump works or what it connects to.. My main concern is not the hand on experience.. but since my mechanical skills aren't proficent.. i'm scared that i won't be able to learn the basics, since everything is hands on. I wish and hope that we have a couple of classes before we start touching anything.. Anyone have any good feedback about wyotech or has any friends/relatives that done wyotech and is successful. I know every school is different and in different states so nothing is the same but give me some ideas of whats involved.

OR does anybody think i should go to a 2 year college and earn an associate degree?


Take a look at some of the courses in this school? http://www.bfit.edu/academics/automo...chnology_1.php

I think those course will teach me alot more... but that school is roughly 30,000 for the 2 years and thats the cost without books purchase.

Plus in that school i don't see any course that shows me i'll be in a garage working, or are those AC, manual tranny, steering/suspension courses just a class that meets in the garage and do basic what the course is about..


Like for instance it say course number blah blah is Chassis & Brakes is that a classroom where i'll learn about brakes or is that a garage where we get to work on brakes.. or what about course number xxx is manual tranny.. is that a classroom fill with students that learn about manual tranny or again is that a garage where we get to work on manual tranny throughout the day?


HELP ME GUYS OR ANYONE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCES WITH SCHOOLS LIKE THESE.

when i was in high school last year, we had these weird things called "guidance counselors." they helped us make decisions on where to go to school and what else. id look into that.

my high school guidance counselor couldnt remember what school i was going to . . . mind you . . . i went to a school with a graduating class of less than 200 kids . . . we had 666 in the whole thing last year

UTI and Wyotech are both good... UTI is just close to you 92accordDX is halfway through UTI right now, and mayberry4thgen/irishone is starting now.

Be prepared to work and study like crazy though. You can't be a dummy and go to those schools... I have a degree from Rutgers, and I think I would even find the courseload challenging!

and mayberry4thgen/irishone is starting now

then it might not be a good idea to go to uti...

I heard UTI was a friggin rip off. I know some one who said he went to their campus in Chicage years back and the ASE certification was good but it doesnt get you very far.

:edit:

The other thing is Deev is right, you have to know a little bit about engines and how they work to be able to get into these schools..and its just not tech stuff they teach you as well, Im sure academics is highly involved.

I.e Math being one of the bigger subjects to tackle because without the math...you can't really get far IMO. I wanted to try Baron Tech in CT but at the time it was too costly and I later found out they're weren't much on the things they highlighted about the school.

WyoTech is awesome from what I've heard and plus the place is very hands on..and I think there is a WyoTech somewhere in Mass near Boston Im not sure, but if I had to choose I would definitely go to WyoTech.
