College Credit for ASE Certification
The American Council on Education's (ACE) Commission on Educational Credit and Credentials has recommended that credit be granted to those technicians who have passed ASE certification tests and have the required work experience.
What is the American Council on Education?
ACE is the major organization that reviews and recommends credit for experience to colleges and universities in America. Its Center for Adult Learning and Educational Credentials is the pioneer in evaluating learning gained from non-campus sources.

How Do I Get College Credit?
Neither ASE nor ACE awards college credit. This is the sole decision of the individual institution. Technicians seeking college credit should first contact their school, or the institution in which they plan to enroll, to determine if the ACE credit recommendations will be considered.

A Note To Schools
The non-profit, independent National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) administers the only national, industry-wide certification program for automotive technicians. Nationally there are about 400,000 ASE-certified professionals. The American Council on Education's decision to recommend college credit is based on detailed reviews of the ASE tests and programs, conducted by content and technical evaluation teams appointed by ACE.
