Program Overview
If you have a passion for mechanics and fixing what’s broken, and Honda is your brand of choice, with the right training you can launch a successful career. That’s where the Automotive Service Technician Honda AHAP (MAP 32) program comes in.
The offering is for new or existing Acura or Honda dealer apprentices, and is specifically designed to give your career the turbocharge it needs. Not only will this program provide the educational component required for your apprenticeship, but it will also give you specific training on Acura and Honda diagnosis and repair that will set you apart as a specialist.
The Centennial College School of Transportation is housed at Ashtonbee Campus, the largest transportation training hub in Ontario. In state-of-the-art shops, led by industry-proven instructors who are passionate about passing on their expertise, you’ll train using Honda’s latest tech with a strong emphasis on electronics and the diagnosis of mechanical systems. You’ll be expected to meet or exceed standards for the traditional apprenticeship curriculum while receiving additional technical training such as many factory e-Learning modules and hybrid and alternate fuels systems. In this program, you’ll be eligible for up to $4,000 in various grants and tax incentives.
The Automotive Service Technician Honda AHAP (MAP 32) program will run in eight four-week blocks for a total of 32 weeks. During that time, you'll alternate between training at Ashtonbee Campus and paid apprenticeship work terms at a Acura or Honda dealer. We'll work in cooperation with your employer to ensure you get the best and most complete training available.
When you graduate, you’ll have a valuable certificate from a very well-respected school. The additional training, meanwhile, will give you a distinct advantage over your competition as you advance in the industry.
