ASE Testing on Computer
During January and February 2004, ASE is offering computer-based certification tests (CBT) in the following specialty areas:
|
Specialty
|
CBT Tests
|
| Automobile Technician |
Tests A1 – A8 |
| Advanced Engine Performance Specialist |
Test L1 |
| Automobile Parts Specialist |
Test P2 |
These tests cover the same content as the traditional paper-and-pencil tests given in May and November. However, because they are administered on computer, you have flexibility in scheduling the tests, and you receive your test results at the test center, immediately after you finish your testing.
These tests can only be taken at a secure, proctored computer-based testing center. This ensures the security and reliability of the ASE tests. You cannot take these tests over the Internet at home or at work.

The only way to register for the ASE computer-based tests is by calling 1-800-525-6929. You cannot register for the CBT testing by mail or on the Internet.

Certification Requirements
To become ASE-certified, you must pass one or more tests and have two or more years of full-time, hands-on work experience. You may take some of the ASE tests before you have the required experience, but will not receive your credentials until you have satisfied the work experience requirement. See the following section on Work Experience for more details.
Five-Year Recertification
After you have become certified, ASE requires that you take recertification tests every five years to ensure that your knowledge remains up-to-date. Most recertification tests are about one-half the length of the regular tests. Recertification tests can only be taken after you have passed the corresponding full-length regular test. Both regular and recertification tests are available as computer-based tests.
Privacy Policy
ASE will NOT release test scores over the telephone. We also will not report your individual test scores to anyone else unless we receive a written request from you. ASE reserves the right to confirm whether you do or do not hold ASE certification and in which areas.
One aspect of ASE’s mission is to encourage and assist in the development and conduct of effective automotive training programs. Accordingly, ASE will, at its discretion, use your records to communicate with you, or to facilitate communications by others with you, about education, training, and awards programs judged to be of potential benefit, as well as future tests and offers.
