Universal Technical Institute (UTI) is rolling out new curriculum in its Ford Accelerated Credential Training (FACT) program that will feature blended learning courses on high voltage systems safety, hybrid vehicle components and operation, battery electric vehicle (BEV) components and operation, and an introduction to high voltage battery service, as well as a Ford instructor-led class on hybrid and electric vehicle operation and diagnosis.
Ford is providing a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) to each campus so students can receive hands-on training as well as virtual reality goggles that will be used in Ford’s training curriculum.
Ford FACT graduates will have the opportunity to achieve Ford’s High Voltage Systems Certification in addition to the 11 certifications the program already offers
Nine of UTI’s 14 campuses currently offer Ford FACT.
