Did you know that Honda is the world’s largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14-million internal combustion engines each year? Also, as of August 2008, Honda surpassed Chrysler as the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States. Lastly, Honda is the sixth largest automobile manufacturer in the world. Such impressive statistics ensure that Automotive Service Technicians have plenty of work in the Honda world. However, those trained in the Automotive Service Technician Honda Apprenticeship (MAP 32) at Centennial College are even further ahead of the competition, as their knowledge is specialized to this particular make of vehicle.
Centennial College’s one-year Honda Apprenticeship focuses on Honda’s engines, parts and latest technologies. In order to apply for this program, students must present at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or a GED or equivalent. They must also be employed by a Honda dealership or be selected through an interview process. 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. The application for the Automotive Service Technician Honda MAP 32 program can be completed online. It should be noted that acceptance is based on successful completion of all entry requirements and space is limited.
