    At the Honda Safety Driving Center, students can choose from various courses including their “Beginners” course, designed for novices with no riding experience and “Refresher Course” which is for people with previous riding experience. The Honda Safety Driving Center also offers seminars on road safety, completing the company’s holistic training services.

    Honda’s training facility is located at San Martin de Porres, Parañaque, Metro Manila.
