The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence reminds service professionals to register for ASE certification testing by Dec. 31. Those who register by the deadline will have 90 days to schedule an appointment for their selected exams.
Tests Being Discontinued
ASE said individuals seeking certification or recertification in the following areas must register and take the corresponding tests by the deadline:
- Test E1 – Truck Equipment Installation and Repair
- Test E2 – Electrical/Electronic Systems Installation and Repair
- Test E3 – Auxiliary Power Systems Installation and Repair
- Test P4 – General Motors Parts Consultant
- Test X1 – Undercar Specialist Exhaust Systems
ASE previously announced it will discontinue those five tests after Dec. 31.
Registration, Testing Options, and Study Resources
ASE registration is available on its website. After selecting “register” and signing in, users should choose “orders,” then “store,” select tests, add them to the cart, and check out.
ASE outlined three testing options:
- In-person testing: Tests are available at more than 450 proctored Prometric test centers year-round, including weekdays, evenings and weekends.
- ProProctor remote testing: Recertification tests can be taken remotely. The auto maintenance and light repair (G1) initial certification test is also available remotely.
- ASE Renewal application: A-series (A1-A9) recertification can be managed on a mobile device. ASE noted that if A-series certifications are expired, the app option will take at least eight months to regain certification.
ASE also offers free study guides with test overviews, sample questions, and study tips.
