View on provider's websiteThe goal of the T-TEN program is to train future automotive technicians to work for Toyota dealership service departments. The T-TEN standard requires student technicians to receive 2 years of training that is divided between technical college classroom/lab education and Toyota/Lexus dealership internship education experience. The T-TEN program requires each student to be sponsored by a Toyota or Lexus dealer before entry into the program. The student works at the dealer in a paid internship position for a minimum of one half of the T-TEN training program. The T-TEN program at MCC consists of four quarter/terms of classroom and hands-on automotive systems instruction and 3 quarter/terms of dealer internship hands-on instruction. Each college quarter (term), the student-technicians alternate between instruction classes at MCC and internships at the sponsoring dealer.
MCC’s T-TEN program gives you the opportunity to learn from Toyota trained and certified instructors. In addition, students will be prepared to complete certification testing by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), considered the gold standard for independent certification of service technician skills and knowledge. Toyota requires graduates pass at least two ASE tests and meet a dealership experience requirement to be granted status as a Toyota Certified Technician.

Firefighters are the public's first line of defense against loss of life and property. They are frequently the first emergency responders on scene at accidents, ready to treat injuries and perform vital functions. While firefighters are most often thought of as those who control and extinguish fires, much of their work focuses on prevention, providing public education programs on control and extinguishment of fires, as well as on enforcing laws and regulations that support a safe environment. In addition, they respond to non-fire emergencies such as terrorist activity, hazardous materials incidents, vehicle accidents, water main breaks and utility emergencies. They must be physically fit and able to deal with people in crisis. Their work environment is oftentimes stressful and dangerous; therefore, the effective firefighter must be a critical thinker and an excellent communicator. Education in the field serves to produce a well-trained individual who is capable of handling the emergency they're facing.
The Fire Science Technology program at Metropolitan Community College focuses on the studies that will provide the successful graduate with the knowledge and tools to perform as a firefighter as effectively as possible.
