ASE Certifications
ASE certifications are obtained by passing advanced level tests given by the National Institute for Auto Service Excellence (ASE). These tests measure a technician’s knowledge of the skills needed to diagnose problems with computer-controlled engine systems. These skills are extensions of the basic repair and diagnostic skills that are tested on the Automobile Engine Performance (A-8) test. For more information, call ASE at 703-713-3800 or visit the organization’s web site at www.asecert.org.
