The T-TEN program is designed exclusively for the student who is seeking a career as a service technician at a Toyota dealership. The T-TEN curriculum is produced by the University of Toyota. It prepares the student for a career with Toyota by providing Toyota’s core certification courses that are needed for advancement at a Toyota dealership.

The Toyota technical education network (T-TEN) program can be pursued as a one-year certificate of completion or as an associate degree. Stark State’s T-TEN option is an integral part of the comprehensive automotive technology program. Students selecting the T-TEN option begin by enrolling in the comprehensive automotive technology program and select either a certificate of completion option or an associate degree path. As the student successfully completes the related technical courses in the comprehensive program, they will concurrently take the Toyota T-TEN modules. These courses may be taken as technical electives in the comprehensive automotive technology program.

The T-TEN curriculum is a blend of classroom theory and hands-on lab assignments. The curriculum follows both the ASE and NATEF guidelines. This allows the student to pursue ASE certification.

Since students will be on a one-year or two-year path, the sequence of Toyota classes may vary from one semester to the next based on the individual student’s needs. Toyota classes are scheduled to run on selected Fridays throughout each semester, including the summer, and are a full day in length.
