Program Accreditation
All Toyota T-TEN programs, including those at San Jacinto College, are accredited by the ASE Education Foundation (ASEEF). This accreditation ensures that the training meets or exceeds industry standards. All Toyota T-TEN instructors must be certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) before they are allowed to teach in any Toyota T-TEN classroom.
External Learning Experiences
This program includes external learning experiences outside of the classroom, e.g., an internship, externship, clinical, practicum, or cooperative learning experience. Those experiences are typically on-site at a business or organization.
All students participating in external learning experiences are required to comply with the immunization requirements and policies of the external learning sites. Some learning sites outside the College have their own vaccination requirements. These rules come from those facilities and are not mandated by the College. Failure to meet those immunization requirements may limit a student’s ability to complete the program and/or may delay the student’s graduation date. San Jacinto College does not process exemptions, and students should address potential vaccination exemptions directly with the external learning site.
