Achieving ASE Certification
for Automotive Training Programs
The motor vehicle repair industry has taken on a
new sophistication. It requires advanced technical training and
computer literacy. Today's automotive technician must have:
 thorough
knowledge of automotive systems and components
good
computer skills
excellent
communication skills
above
average mechanical aptitude
good
reasoning ability
ability to read
and follow instructions
manual
dexterity
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook,
jobs as automotive service professionals will be plentiful for
persons who finish training programs in high school, vocational
or technical school, or community college.
To help vocational educators recruit, mentor, and
train tomorrow's technicians, the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence (ASE) offers certification for technician training
programs. The purpose of the automotive technician training certification
program is to improve the quality of training offered at secondary
and post-secondary, public and proprietary schools.
Programs can earn ASE certification upon the recommendation
of the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF).
NATEF was founded to develop, encourage, and improve automotive
technician education. NATEF examines the structure and resources
of training programs and evaluates them against nationally accepted
standards of quality. NATEF's precise national standards reflect
the skills that students must master. ASE certification through
NATEF evaluation ensures that certified training programs meet
or exceed industry-recognized, uniform standards of excellence.
