When a UTI student reaches 8 courses prior to their graduation date they are welcome to begin the acceptance process for an MSAT program.
The steps for acceptance are as follows:
- There are a limited number of interview slots given to each campus every three weeks.
- At the start of every course your campus Advanced Training Representatives, (ATR's) pull a list of students who are 8 courses from graduation.
- The list is sorted by GPA and Attendance - students with the highest GPA's and Attendance will interview first with the ATR.
- If the student candidate meets the criteria for selection and passes the ATR interview then they will be offered an opportunity to interview with the Advanced Training Manager (ATM).
- The ATM interview typically takes place 6 or 7 courses from graduation.
- ATM's make the final decision about candidate acceptance.
- The ATM will make one of three possible decisions by the end of the interview:
- 1) Accepted: At which time the candidate is assigned a specific start date and training location.
- 2) Denied: At which time the candidate can see the ATR about applying for a different MSAT program.
- 3) Provisional: In this case the ATM has determined to take a second look at the candidate in the future; possibly after the candidate has completed a few courses in an elective like FACT or the ATM has had a chance to speak to a few dealers about the candidate.
- Accepted student are expected to "check-in" once per month via email or phone with the ATM until their assigned class begins.
