Program Objectives
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 Universal Technical Institute’s Avondale campus.
Academic Standards and Grading
The first Cummins Power Generation course, CPGN‑001, has a GATE test in the third week of the course. Passing the GATE is measured by scoring an 84% or above on both the BETT and safety written tests, and a 90% or above on the BETT lab test. Students who do not achieve the minimum requirements will have failed CPGN‑001 and be required to repeat the course in order to continue in the Cummins Power Generation program. Students who fail the GATE will not be allowed to take any further post‑tests in the respective CPGN‑001 course without a complete course retake.
In order to be eligible for the Cummins Power Generation program students must have a 3.0 GPA or better.
Having received the initial BETT and safety credentials, a student must achieve an 84% in classroom and 90% in lab evaluations on each credential that follows in order to receive that credential. However, a student may continue the remaining Cummins Power Generation courses (CPGN‑002, CPGN‑003, and CPGN‑004) and not earn credentials by meeting Universal Technical Institute grading standards of 70% or greater. In order to be considered a Cummins Power Generation graduate by Cummins and receive the related qualifications, student must meet the education objectives of an 84% minimum on written tests and a 90% minimum on lab tests.
Upon completion of the Cummins Power Generation program, a student may be classified as either a program graduate or a program completed student.
Course Credential Repeat Policies and Information
The first Cummins Power Generation 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. The BETT Circuit Building lab, BETT Relay and DVOM lab qualification tests require the student to achieve a minimum of 90% on each lab evaluation.
All of the above are required to be credentialed by Cummins in these areas and to continue in the Cummins Power Generation course. Students who do not achieve the Cummins 84% classroom and 90% lab minimum requirements will be considered to have failed that respective Universal Technical Institute course (CPGN‑001) and be required to repeat the course in order to continue in the Cummins Power Generation course.
Students who do not achieve the minimum requirements in course CPGN‑001 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 Safety 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 Power Generation courses (CPGN‑002, CPGN‑003, CPGN‑004) by meeting the Universal Technical Institute grading standards of 70% or higher.
Graduation Requirements
To earn credentialing in Cummins Power Generation, a student must earn an 84% or greater on all written tests and a 90% or greater on all lab qualifications. Students must complete all Cummins Virtual College assignments required by Cummins to receive its qualifications. A student can pass a Universal Technical Institute/Cummins course and not earn a credential.
