Events Guide

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. runs a “Yamaha Technical Academy” (YTA) program at locations around the world to train mechanics based on a unified international curriculum. The National Technician Grand Prix events held in regions around the world serve as the ultimate test of mechanics coming through the YTA training program. And for the best technicians that progress up through these qualifying contests, the WTGP is the final test to name the best Yamaha technician in the world.

The competition consists of two phases. The first is “Diagnosing mechanical malfunction ” which involves correctly diagnosing, fixing and completing the repair of a machine in a given amount of time. The second phase is “One to One Service”, which involves one-on-one interaction with customers to solve the problems that have troubled them.

After a period when the WTGP program was suspended due to the Corona epidemic, it is now being held again for the first time in seven years, bringing to Japan 22 finalists from 19 countries and regions that have come up through the qualified rounds competed by some 35,700 participating mechanics worldwide. The result has been an all-out competition to win the proud title of the world’s best Yamaha technician.

On this day at Yamaha Motor’s Communication Plaza, recorded images of the “Diagnosing mechanical malfunction” phase are shown live along with commentary about the contents. Why not take this opportunity to see the skilled hands of the very best Yamaha mechanics trained in the worldwide YTA program?
