How to Become a Marine Diesel Mechanic
Are you a marine enthusiast? You can pursue a career as a marine diesel mechanic. Read more to see how MMI can help prepare you for the field.
At Universal Technical Institute (UTI) we offer a variety of technical programs wherever your interests may lie. Maybe it’s the rumble of a motorcycle that shakes you with excitement. Or you might prefer a sea breeze and the hum of a boat engine.
Whether your passion is on land or on water, UTI offers two MMI programs for you. There’s the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) and the Marine Mechanics Institute (MMI).
Though these three letters in MMI represent two very different
programs, both give you the skills and training you need for a new career path. Becoming a motorcycle mechanic (technician) or marine mechanic (technician) is within your reach when you attend MMI.
PUT YOUR EDUCATION INTO HIGH GEAR AT MOTORCYCLE MECHANICS INSTITUTE
Let's face it, reading words in a textbook isn't the most exciting way to become a motorcycle mechanic, no matter how much you love motorcycles. That’s why at Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) we not only have valuable classroom instruction, but we place a heavy focus on our labs where you get your hands on the motorcycles.
While at MMI, you'll have access to motorcycles and equipment from leading manufacturers like Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and BMW Motorrad.
We'll give you a moment to let that sink in. Okay... are you excited yet?
“To share the passion for motorcycles, whether it’s riding or wrenching, and to communicate all of this to students is amazing.”
