Program Objective
All Manufacturer‑Specific Advanced Training programs complement Universal Technical Institute’s accredited Automotive and Automotive/Diesel & Industrial training programs.
All Manufacturer‑Specific Advanced Training programs are taught by manufacturer‑trained and certified Universal Technical Institute Instructors. These programs follow the same curriculum that the manufacturer would provide their technicians at their dealer/ distributor training locations. All advanced training programs are capstone courses that follow Universal Technical Institute’s accredited Automotive and Automotive/Diesel & Industrial training programs.
12‑week Manufacturer‑Specific Advanced Training available at the Avondale, Exton and Houston campuses.
Academic Standards and Grading
The first Cummins Engines course has a GATE test. Passing the GATE is measured by scoring a 90% or above on each of the GATE lab tests and 84% or above on the BETT written test. Students who do not achieve the minimum requirements will have failed and be required to repeat the course in order to continue in the Cummins Engines program. Students who fail the GATE will not be allowed to take any further post‑tests in that respective Cummins course without a complete course retake. In order to be eligible for the Cummins engine program students must have a 3.0 GPA or better.
Course Credential Repeat Policies and Information
The Cummins Engine BETT Qualification requires students to achieve a minimum 84% on a written test. The BETT Circuit Building lab, BETT Relay and DVOM lab, and Insight lab qualification tests require the student to achieve a minimum 90% on each lab evaluation.
All the above are required to be credentialed by Cummins in these areas and to continue training in the Cummins Engines course.
Students who do not achieve the Cummins 84% classroom and 90% lab minimum requirements for these two credentials will be considered to have failed that respective Universal Technical Institute course (Avondale: CMNS‑001, Houston and Exton: CMNS‑101) and be required to repeat that course in order to continue in Cummins Engines.
A student who does not achieve the minimum requirements in course (Avondale: CMNS‑001, Houston and Exton: CMNS‑101) will be required to seek advisement from Student Services for a break in attendance until the course is available to repeat.
Having received the initial BETT and Insight credentials, a student must achieve an 84% on classroom and 90% on lab evaluations on each successive credential in order to receive that credential. However, a student may continue the remaining Cummins Engines courses (Avondale: CMNS‑002, CMNS‑003, CMNS‑004) (Houston and Exton: CMNS‑102, CMNS‑103, CMNS‑104) by meeting Universal Technical Institute grading standards of 70% or higher.
