It feels like only yesterday since I covered the new HD Radio set to be installed in BMW bikes, starting with the new Transcontinental. Bikes from BMW Motorrad are known for their premium, complex electronics – so it is only natural that BMW has courses available to the masses that cover advanced technology, in the event your beloved beastie breaks down.

According to PRNewswire, the college has just revealed that they will be able to hold BMW’s FastTrack program as an elective for their students starting in 2022, tossing the smarts of the next generation into the fast-changing world of BMW-savvy technology.

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with BMW by bringing the BMW brand to more of our campuses and students,” says Sherrell Smith, UTI Executive Vice President of Campus Operations and Services.

“By partnering with UTI on the BMW FastTrack program, we are providing an opportunity for students to get a head start on a rewarding career at one of our 350 BMW dealerships nationwide.”
