Honda Malaysia (HM) today signed a certificate of collaboration (CoC) with the Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education (DPCCE), Ministry of Education (MoE), paving the way for Honda’s training modules to be incorporated into selected automotive syllabi.
The CoC recognises HM’s strategic collaboration with polytechnics and colleges for students to be equipped with industry-ready technical and soft skills. The company will be collaborating with 17 community colleges from nine states in Malaysia with more polytechnics and colleges expected to be added into the list in the near future.
This initiative also supports the government’s focus on Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) towards developing more skilled and certified technicians in Malaysia through high quality training.
“Honda Malaysia has recorded outstanding sales increase by 112% in the past five years and this concurrently increases our service intake by 51% over the same period. This leads us to expand our dealership network nationwide, which now stands at 97 outlets to provide easier access for all our customers. Hence, this initiative is very timely as we are able to have more skilled technicians to cater to our increasing customers,” said Honda Malaysia MD and CEO Toichi Ishiyama.
HM will be incorporating the Maintenance Technician and Repair Technician modules based on Honda’s internal global training programme into selected automotive courses. Students will receive comprehensive training which includes a six-month attachment at Honda dealerships. The training will boost students’ after-sales knowledge and provide them with industry experience and a foundation for future employment.
Students also stand a chance to be official Honda technicians or service personnel upon training and assessment. HM is targeting to receive 120 graduates per year from participating polytechnics and colleges through this collaboration.

But the thing is that, where is the improvement from Honda Assembly Malaysia Quality, we know that Honda Malaysia have been keeping their secret about for not telling me about the improvement about Honda Assembly Malaysia Quality. Also, Don’t just say improvement about Honda service Malaysia quality, after people buy new Honda models for several months in the future, people will surely complain about Honda Service Malaysia Quality and people will also fed up all these kind about Honda Service Malaysia Quality again, no point. Also, Paul tan.org shouldn’t have post this article.
At least honda is doing something good. Look at Proton, they just know how to run designs contests because their highly paid in-house designers don’t know how to design at all

more exposure for honda cars, familiarity with honda cars, good second hand market since its easy to repair, local sparepart will stockup more honda parts. WIN WIN WIN situation.
Now only wanted to improve Honda Service Quality. Way too late Honda
Honda Malaysia needs to show their evidence. If they still doing the same, there is no point having training for after sales people, when the Honda Malaysia Service is still teruk. Honda Malaysia can talk but if Honda Malaysia still never change their attitude, then Honda Malaysia will not fulfil their promises as well as Honda Malaysia will cheat again to Malaysian.
Aiyo, Honda Malaysia can talk. But the service and assembly quality will most likely to be the same. Trust me, it is expected that Honda Malaysia service quality and assembly quality will still terrible service.
hondek this shitty brand will die soon and all those dealers will close 1 by 1.
