Toyota Technician -What is it?


Shoreline Community College offers an Associate degree in Applied Arts and Science for students who are interested in entering the automotive service industry. Toyota’s Technician Training and Education Network (T-TEN) Program provides students with the fundamental skills to succeed in the workplace along with valuable hands-on experience. Students alternate quarters between classroom instruction and paid dealership training. As students progress through the curriculum, they learn about the major automobile components and systems, including brakes, suspension, emissions, transmissions, electrical systems, heating and air conditioning, power trains and engine management systems. Students develop skills in automotive systems, diagnostics, and repairs. Students will also develop an understanding of automotive service business principles as applied to the service technician. In their internship placement, students work under the guidance of a master technician at a sponsoring Toyota or Lexus dealership. These paid internships give students the opportunity to integrate their learning and to further develop their skills in automotive service technology.
