Over the last 10 years alone, the Institute has provided training to over 55,000 trainees and issued 10,000 certificates accredited by Toyota in mechanics, auto body and paint, maintenance and spare parts. The Institute also has a strong track record in professional training and consultancy services to external trainees, including members of government and military personnel.
