WyoTech Diesel Technology Program full tour! (Part 2)  

I went through the Automotive program at Wyotech in 2004. I had some great instructors but you could tell there was a lot of shady stuff going on under Corinthian colleges. The classes were really expensive but they were running a full day and night shift of classes so you know they were making a ton of money. If anything broke in class or if any tools went missing the students were charged for it directly on top of their tuition. Also, when I got out of the program $27k in debt the only positions I could get hired on at dealerships were cleaning the building. (I eventually did get a position that was half porter, half trainee and was able to work my way up). Corinthian colleges got sued over predatory practices and was forced to sell Wyotech thankfully. I hope Zenith values it's instructors and students the way they deserve. I learned so much from so many great instructors who were really the heart of the programs. I still remember their names and stories along with so much automotive training. Also, Wyoming is a beautiful state. I need to go back and visit again. Haven't been since 2004.

It's been 14 years since I was there, definitely changed a whole lot.

I went through auto technology at my vo-tech in early 90's. This is a lot more equipment than when I went through it. Of course in 30 years technology has changed a lot. Thanks to Wyo-Tech for allowing you to go through the building and show us what the students do. Very nice.

2008 Wyotech grad from the diesel program here. Nice to see the school has changed for the better.

Shawn's enthusiasm is what we need more of in this country. I wish I went to tech school at this place.

My son graduates in March iv done my best to push him to deer ur the best in my opinion so glad u did wyotech watched 3 times

That fault board is next level! I can't stress that enough. Read your information as given to you from the Manufacturer and then apply in a real world type situation. This alone can take someone who is maybe not connecting all the dots and really help them out. This alone gives Wyo-tech an advantage in the teaching world.....

Great job showing who tech. I was a diesel tech got my degree in Nebraska. Worked at John Deere then into the semi trucks side and that where I stayed now retired. Very impressed by what Wyo Tech is trying to accomplish. Very impressed with work ethic at JD and video’s.

Zeth, when your body can't take it no more you can be an instructor and help people out. Great video as always. I think WioTech would be a great place to donate money.

Lots of changes since I was there in 1989! It just as awesome, and the fundamentals are still the basis of everything! Learned so much working as an instructor under Jim 6 years later. Was one of the best life choices I made to attend WyoTech and and is still serving me well into retirement. I can still work on anything! Great Video!

Hi Zeth, loved this 2nd part even more than the first one! When I was an apprentice back in the 70's, we did not have access to a fantastic facility like this Wyo-Tech one. We had to rely so much on learning on the job which was good, but took a lot longer to learn some of the non common faults that would occur. I am so glad you got to go back and visit and take the family with you, and I am sure Wyo-Tech also feels proud to have you back and see the results of the training they have provided. Thanks as always.

What an absolutely nice facility!!! So nice for the students. Stellar occupation and learning experience.

Wow I like the look of that diesel program. Cover so much under one roof. Bet it was nice to have a family get away 👍

Great video ZK, it’s cool that your wife and family are down to be a part of that with you! Also couldn’t help but notice the x9 you were standing in front of😉

I was there in 1993. It looks alot better now.

Thanks for another great video ZK. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all very nice to meet your family. Your have a great family and nice they could join you on this trip. My best to your family. Wyotech is quite the place. Wow. What an excellent facility. Students get a good background here as they join the working world. Nice you were invited back to see what has changed since you went there. I can imagine you enjoyed seeing the current programs. I can see where all this fits into your employment with John Deere. You most certainly are a leader in the industry. My compliments to you for what you have accomplished. Thanks for taking us along. Most interesting. Thanks The Iowa farm boy.

Wow, these schools have really changed since I went to a vo-tech. The day one stops learning is the day one is deceased. Wonder how difficult it would be for an older generation to go back to school?! Very cool school indeed. Cheers :)

Fantastic facility for the next generation . Merry Christmas to you and your family Zeth 🌲🎉

Watching this video was real tear jerker for me because time your family there. My son is there and I'm looking and listening tryn to c if I c him. He's straight a thank lord and helping others that might need help. I'm hoping he does as good as u have his name is nick if he subscribes to ur channel. I went to Nashville auto diesel college I'm 54 and jd probably wldnt want me cuz I'm old

RIP Jessi Combs

Thanks for the video really enjoy that one

Very good video, thank-you! You would make a awesome instructor at this place!

Diesel engines are as simple as simple gets. We have just over complicated things now haba , John deere , case, claas, they are all the same. Just depends who's program you have on the laptop ! If I had more access to programs I'd fix everything of mine.

Fun stuff Zeth. Again, thanks for bringing us along. Did Jim Mathes ever teach? He looks familiar to me but from 37 years ago it's a bit foggy.

They had to of told them to keep there hands down while ur filming around them lol I remember everyone always standing around with there hand up waiting for the instructor most the time 😂🤣

Hey Zeke you've probably have told us but I was wondering where your from originally. You have a great family .

What’s the cost to attend this school?

Is turbo still teaching fuels

I might move over from Australia to finish my training here.

Thanks for sharing
