School Description:

Mission:

As a nationwide provider of technical education training for students seeking careers as professional motorcycle, marine and industrial technicians, we train and prepare students to become entry-level technicians.

History:

MMI has grown from a small regional training center to a manufacturer-endorsed educational institution. The Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, founded in 1973, and the Marine Mechanics Institute, founded in 1991, began as divisions of Clinton Technical Institute, which had been

owned and operated by The Clinton Harley Corporation since 1977. In 1979, MMI was accredited by the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools, now known as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.

In 1997, The Clinton Harley Corporation became a subsidiary of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., as the result of a merger between the two schools. In 2003, UTI became a public company through a successful initial public offering of its common stock.

In 2005, The Clinton Harley Corporation changed its name to Universal Technical Institute of Phoenix, Inc. It remains a subsidiary of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. The school’s

official name is Universal Technical Institute, Motorcycle and Marine Mechanics Institute Divisions.
