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 to take their selected ASE certification tests.
Individuals who want to be certified or recertified in the following areas must register and take these specific tests by Dec. 31:
- 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.
Earlier this year, ASE announced the discontinuation of these five tests as of Dec. 31.
To register, visit ASE.com, click on “register” and sign in. Once logged in, users can click on “orders” and then “store” where they can locate the tests they want to take. After adding those tests to the cart, they can check out and registration is complete.
ASE provides three certification options:
- In-Person Testing: All tests can be taken in person at over 450 secure, proctored Prometric test centers, available year-round on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
- ProProctor Remote Testing: This online option allows individuals to take ASE recertification tests remotely. In addition, the auto maintenance and light repair (G1) initial certification test can be taken remotely through ProProctor.
- ASE Renewal App: For those who have been certified in the automobile certifications (A1-A9) series, the renewal app offers a streamlined way to manage recertification on a mobile device. If automotive service professionals have expired A-series tests, they can still use the app, but it will take at least eight months to get certified that way.
To help with test preparation, ASE provides free study guides that include test overviews, sample questions and study tips and are ideal for assessing readiness and focusing preparation efforts.
For assistance, registrants should contact ASE customer service at 800-390-6789.
