We've hired multiple students/graduates from this campus and have been thrilled with their extensive technical knowledge which is a direct result of the school's curriculum. Individuals interested in furthering their career in a technical field should definitely consider NTI/UTI.

I attended NASCAR Technical Institute from early 2016 through late 2017. I can not say enough about how this school opened up opportunities to me that I would have never had before. I am from the Wake Forest, NC area and I would have never had the chance to work on a racing team if it was not for moving down to Mooresville, NC. NASCAR Tech gives you every tool you need in order to be successful from the Automotive field all the way into racing. Granted the school will not help you get on a race team unless you are in their Universal Motorsports Team club- which is extremely easy to sign up for and helps you network yourself with people in racing- but if you are not interested in being a part of a club then you can kind of do like I did and network yourself around town. I mean the entire area is full of race shops.. somebody is going to have an opening. During my time at NTI, I met a lot of famous people by being on a small race team and racing at places like Bristol Motor Speedway. As a student, you do have to apply yourself.. just like any school you will meet people that do not really care about being there or their own future- but typically those people get weeded out in the beginning. Like I said as long as you network yourself with the right people, work hard, apply yourself and "see the light at the end of the tunnel" you will have the time if your life. You see a lot of people giving the school bad reviews and more than likely it is because they went there and screwed around. NASCAR Tech will not allow any type of that because it prepares you for the real working world and does not put up with any type of bull. When I graduated I was on a race team and was travelling up and down the east coast but it also gave me the opportunity to go work in a dealership. I took the core program, NASCAR Technology, and MOPAR CAP program.. yes it was a long and hard experience but it gave me the opportunity to do whatever I wanted to do. I decided after being on the road to move back home and work in a dealership making a lot more money than I would have ever been able to make 4 years ago. I have a lot of friends that I went to school with that work for NASCAR Cup teams so I will always have that to fall back on if I ever want to go racing again. If you decide to go to the school, don't get discouraged and quit because after all of the education you obtain, you will be able to do whatever you want

Go to a community college that offers mechanics. Checked on one that also includes basic welding for thousands less and you receive a associates degree on top of the other certifications. This school is way over priced. Instructor told one class that if they wanted hands on experience to get some tools and go down the road to a pull a part junkyard. Also steer clear of CHS housing. 4 people to a apartment, total rent for all 4 was around 1900 a month for ghetto living, complete rip off. Only gave 1 star because 0 was not a option.

Waste of money! Save your money and go to a local tech school. My quoted tuition cost was around 32,000. 6 phases in I owed 25,000. Note there is 16 phases. I noticed my cost for each phase went up every phase change. Instructors are the best part of the school. But why go to a school and pay so much to just get certified to work on cars? Go to a local tech school and do your research. You'll find most have a higher employment after grad rate and a lot less money out of pocket.
