Train for a Career as a Diesel & Industrial Technician
In UTI’s Diesel & Industrial Technology program, students get hands‑on training with powerful trucks and engines, including products from Navistar International Corp.; Daimler Trucks North America; Cummins, Inc.; Detroit Diesel Corporation; Caterpillar; Mack Trucks, Inc.; Mercedes Engines and Volvo Trucks North America. Today’s diesel engines, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment systems are highly sophisticated, with advanced computer controls and electronic functions. Students will work on it all – from preventive maintenance to the latest in high tech electronics, including air brakes, hydraulics and transport refrigeration.
Students will receive hands‑on training on the following DTNA brands: Freightliner and Western Star. Graduates of the Manufacturer‑Specific Advanced Training must pass written and hands‑on qualification testing as well as DTNA‑prescribed, module‑based training. Students will have the opportunity to earn Professional Level Certification in the areas of heavy‑duty truck systems, electrical troubleshooting, electronic systems and HVAC diagnostics. They also will have the opportunity to earn two Detroit Diesel engine certifications for major repair and basic diagnostics. Each student will have his or her DTNA training history stored under the student’s DTNA Aftermarket Resource Center ID.
