-Notes-
*In addition to meeting the minimum score on the ASE paper-and-pencil tests to be certified, candidates must also have appropriate hands-on experience in the specialty area. This experience may be verified at the local level (e.g., institution) either by determining whether the candidate has current experience in the specialty area or by administering a locally developed test; or "hands-on" part of an end-of-course examination.
Credit recommendations are for semester hours at the lower division baccalaureate/associate level.
