Toyota technician training offers students the opportunity to gain theory and then apply it both on campus in fully equipped labs and off-campus during an on-the-job experience.

1. Toyota Technician Training Offers Unique
Opportunity
Did you know that by attending Toyota Technician training at Centennial
College, you may go on to work as more than just an automotive service
technician? That’s because this undertaking also offers the knowledge
needed to obtain jobs such as service writers (responsible for writing repair
orders, communicating them to the mechanic and estimating the final cost
to the consumer), service parts managers (ensure that right spare part and
resources are at the right place, where the broken part is, at the right
time), trainers and professors (teach students how to become automotive
service technicians) and automotive manufacturer specialists. Within the
Toyota organization, these professionals can rest assured that they will be in
demand as they are working for the eleventh-largest company in the world
by revenue.
This Toyota training, officially known as the Automotive Service Technician
Toyota (Map 32) program, requires applications to possess at minimum an
Ontario Secondary School Diploma or a General Educational Development
(GED) or equivalent. In addition, they should be employed by a Toyota
dealership. Candidates may apply directly to Centennial College, with
successful applicants obtaining an employer and registering as a MAP
apprentice with the Apprenticeship Branch of the Ministry of Training,
Colleges and Universities. Students may apply to a maximum of three
programs at Centennial College. There are a limited number spots within
this Toyota technician training. However, when space permits additional
applicants who may not be employed by Toyota are selected through an
interview process.
Toyota technician training is covered in four eight-week blocks,
alternating with apprenticeship work terms at students’ Toyota dealers. As
such, students first gain an understanding of the basics through a traditional
apprenticeship curriculum as well as additional training on Toyota products’
description, operation, diagnostics and repair. They then head out into the
real world to apply what they have learned and obtain new knowledge from
seasoned professionals with whom they work side-by-side.
The on-campus component of this Toyota training is delivered at Ashtonbee
Campus, Centennial College’s transportation training hub. This location is
also the largest transportation training centre in the province and comes
with fully-equipped automotive labs. As such, students’ training on Toyota
products makes them productive immediately after completing each level of
their training. Using the labs and actual Toyota vehicles, the Toyota
