ASE, is short for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Since 1972 this independent, non-profit organization has worked to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals.
What Does ASE Do?
ASE promotes excellence in vehicle repair, service and parts distribution. Almost 300,000 Automotive Technicians and Service Professionals hold ASE Certifications. ASE Certified Professionals work in every part of the automotive service industry. ASE certifies automotive technicians and service professionals, not the auto shops. This means the shop doesn't decide who is 'certified', they are held to outside standards and are tested objectively in order to have their certification.
Why Does ASE Exist?
To protect the automotive service consumer, shop owner, and the automotive technician. ASE tests and certifes automotive professionals so that shop owners and service customers can better gauge a technicians level of expertise before contracting the technician’s services. They certify the automotive technician professional so they can offer tangible proof of their technical knowledge. ASE Certification testing means peace of mind for auto service managers and their customers.
How Does ASE Certification Work?
In addition to passing an ASE Certification test, automotive technicians must have two years of on the job training or one year of on the job training and a two-year degree in automotive repair to qualify for certification.
The tests are challenging. Only two out of every three test-takers pass on their first attempt. To remain ASE certified, professionals must retest every five years to keep up with ever-advancing automotive technology.
