About

UEI College – Chula Vista holds ACCET accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and BPPE licensure, delivering seven diploma programs from its Third Avenue campus in Chula Vista's 91911 zone. The 10-month hybrid curriculum blends online coursework with hands-on lab training across automotive technician, HVAC, and electrician technician tracks whose graduates service Chula Vista shops including AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care. Healthcare programs in dental assisting and medical assisting include 250-hour externship rotations at local clinical sites, while the criminal justice and medical office specialist tracks round out the vocational catalog. The campus relocated to 1261 Third Avenue Suite A in 2019, adding an automotive lab and expanded practice space accessible via the UC San Diego Blue Line trolley and MTS bus routes along Third Avenue. Dental assistant graduates enter the South Bay clinical workforce at practices such as Bonita Point Dental Arts, where chairside skills translate directly from lab to operatory. The highest-complexity track combines the electrician technician diploma with NEC code instruction, conduit-bending labs, and residential/commercial wiring simulations preparing students for California's C-10 electrical certification pathway.
