• Level 1 is the highest national qualification—reserved for top tier technicians capable of diagnosing complex systems in hybrids, EVs, and advanced engines.


Toyota Tokyo Automobile College provides one of the best environments in Japan for students aiming to reach this elite level.



3. Test Drive Highlight: Experiencing a 200 Million Yen Supra

One of the most unforgettable moments for IISO students visit to Toyota Automobile Collage was the test drive of a special edition Supra valued at 200 million yen.


The moment students sat inside, they felt the difference immediately. When the engine started:

• A deep, heavy tone filled the cabin

• The iconic inline six roared with precision

• The acceleration was sharp, stable, and breathtaking


It was a rare opportunity to feel the engineering excellence of a high-performance machine—not through theory, but through real sensation.



4. Engine Disassembly Workshop: Learning With Their Own Hands

After the Supra experience, IISO students joined an engine disassembly workshop guided by Toyota Automobile instructors and college students. They handled real engine components:

• Pistons

• Cylinders

• Crankshafts
