The program’s curriculum covered three main disciplines including production and management, quality assurance and test and engineering and research, said the director.
The program is hoped to help reduce costs of automotive enterprises while increasing their competitiveness and prepare them for the growth of the Thai automotive industry in a sustainable manner.
In 2013, the Thai automotive industry produced 2.45 million cars and became ASEAN’s number one car manufacturer. The industry aims to produce three million cars in the next three years.
