To become ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified, one must pass at least one ASE exam and have at least two years of verified work experience. The tests, developed by auto industry experts and overseen by ASE's own professionals, are administered by ACT, known for its academic and occupational testing programs.
The ASE exams are not fundamental or a core exam - approximately one out of three test takers fail. Another reason ASE certification is so well respected in the auto industry and requires care and dedication is because a certified auto technician must take the test every five years to maintain certification which brings out the best auto technicians in their field. ASE certified auto technicians have the motivation and pride to take the tests to prove their own technical competence to themselves, their employers, and their customers. Because ASE certification is mostly voluntary, it separates sub-standard auto technicians from quality technicians who are self-motivated to seek out the certification that places them above the rest.
