- Laramie, Wyoming -- The Wyotech-Laramie Campus, located at 4373 North 3rd Street, Laramie, WY 82072, was the first WyoTech campus formed in 1966 with only 22 students. In 1969 WyoTech’s Laramie campus became accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology, formerly known as NATTS, and through the years has received approval from 50 state governing authorities. WyoTech originated in a single 9,000-square-foot (840 m2) building in 1966 and has since expanded to its current size of 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of modern shop, classroom and administrative facilities. After the original Automotive Technology program, WyoTech introduced Diesel Technology in 1967, Collision/Refinishing Technology in 1971, Automotive Trim and Upholstery in 1977, Associate of Applied Science degree programs in 1986, and the Street Rod Building and Auto Customizing course in 1992. In 2000 WyoTech expanded the Street Rod course further by offering two separate, more specialized courses: Motorsports Chassis Fabrication and Street Rod & Custom Fabrication. This expansion of curriculum allows students the opportunity to hone their skills within a specialty automotive industry. And in 2001, WyoTech added Advanced Diesel courses, giving students the chance to further their training in the diesel field.

The school moved into brand-new, expanded facilities located at 500 Innovation Drive in Blairsville in December 2003.

- Daytona Beach, Florida -- The Wyotech-Daytona Campus, located at 470 Destination Daytona Lane, Ormond Beach FL, 32174 was established in January 1972 under the name American Motorcycle Institute, or AMI. Classes began in a one-building classroom shop and grew to a 10.5-acre (42,000 m2) campus. In 1972, motorcycle mechanics was the only program of instruction. However, seeing the need for another service-related program, marine mechanics was added in 1973. At first only inboard gasoline-powered marine engines with a stern drive unit were used for the training; but soon the demand for outboard motor mechanics training became strong, and it was added to the curriculum in 1975. In 2004 the school was purchased by Florida Metropolitan University, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. In February 2006 the name of the school was changed from AMI to WyoTech. In November 2006 the school moved to its current location at 470 Destination Lane, Ormond Beach, FL.
