REV UP YOUR CAREER: THE TOP CERTIFICATIONS EVERY ASE-CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN NEEDS

Many industries in the United States have various governing bodies establishing industry standards. The automotive field is no different. It features the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellent(ASE). You can work with the ASE without certification, but that certification may determine your level of success.

Certification is in place to maintain the quality of vehicle repair and service. A SE certification does not come from a regulatory body but will vouch for your reputation as a mechanic. Remember that ASE certification works differently than you might expect. Everyone within your facility can be certified ASAP, but the shop must be elsewhere. Students can work towards their accreditation before graduating. ASE has a unique process for accrediting repair programs aside from certification. ASE will certify you in maintenance and light repair, automobile service in technology, engine repair, automatic transmission, manual drivetrain and axles, suspension and steering, brakes, electrical systems, auto air-conditioning, and engine performance. They were also certified in collision repair and refinish or medium and heavy truck areas. They offer several levels of testing, such as the A series or B series. According to the ASC, based on your work history, you can claim experience in one or more of the following areas. Repair technician if you have worked 1 to 3 years, a part specialist if you've worked two years, a collision damage estimator if you've worked for two years, or a service consultant if you've worked for two years. You can then take the ASE test to distinguish yourself in certain areas.
