The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) offers an ASE Introduction to Automobile Service (IAS) e-learning program for entry-level automotive service professionals.
The association said IAS is an online training course designed to introduce entry-level automotive service tasks to prospective and entry-level personnel, as well as any service professionals interested in this specialty area, including service writers and parts professionals.
For those new to the industry, the IAS program can be the first step on the path toward ASE certification. Users who successfully pass the IAS quiz may print a customized certificate of completion.
The IAS program is delivered exclusively online and consists of four e-learning training modules and a separate 40-question quiz.
The modules include:
- Preparation and documentation
- Fluids, filters, belts and hoses inspection and service
- Suspension, tires and brakes inspection and service
- Body, battery, charging, and electrical systems inspection and service
An embedded glossary and safety zone section also helps to promote proper safety measures. This e-learning program incorporates modules to both deliver and measure the knowledge necessary to perform basic tasks.
“The ASE IAS program was created in response to industry interest in an ASE product aimed at prospective and new members of the automotive service industry,” said Dave Johnson, ASE president and CEO. “This online program is designed to familiarize them with basic automobile service tasks and serve as a foundation for future ASE certifications.” To learn more about the IAS program and to register, go to the ASE Campus website.
