The TEAM and TSA (Toyota Service Advisor) training systems were initiated at Microl in 1991. They are both multifaceted programs, taking several years to complete. The TEAM system is aimed at advancing the technical skill levels of Toyota Technicians. The TSA system focuses on clerical, managerial, customer and basic technical skills for Toyota Service Advisors. Eligibility for testing at the beginning level is dependent on a minimum of two years practical experience in the automotive industry. Eligibility for testing at the more advanced levels is dependent on the successful completion of the previous level.
