Master Military Technician Certification Requirements:
Those who are certified in tests MIL2 – MIL8 will be recognized as ASE Certified Master Military Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Technicians.

Experience Requirements (MIL1):

There is no experience requirement to take the MIL1 test, as it is a fundamentals/entry-level test. There will not be a recertification offered for the MIL1 test. It is expected that the soldier/tech will progress to the MIL2 – MIL8 tests.

Experience Requirements (MIL2 - MIL8):
To complete the certification requirements you must submit an experience report from outlining, at minimum, two years of full-time hands-on experience working on autos or trucks.

Recognition:
Those who become certified in at least one area will be recognized as an ASE Certified Military TWV Technician. Those who are certified in all seven tests MIL2 – MIL8 will be recognized as ASE Certified Master Military TWV Technicians. Successful candidates will receive an official certificate and an appropriate insignia.

Recertification:
Technicians must retest every five years to retain their certification. The Military Tactical Wheeled Vehicle recertification tests (MIL2R – MIL8R) are about half as long as the initial certification tests.

Test Centers:
ASE has partnered with UMGC to offer the full menu of ASE certification tests to US military personnel and DOD logistically supported candidates at selected National Test Centers (NTCs) in United States, Asia, and Europe. See the complete list of sites below.

United States (CONUS)

Note: These test centers are generally not available to civilians. The NTCs are on-base and are only accessible to military personnel and contractors who are otherwise approved to be on the base. Civilians and U.S. contractors, who do not already have access to the base, will not be able to use the NTCs.

Testing will be available by appointment only and will be offered all year around, Monday – Friday. If you want to participate, follow these steps:

1. Log into your myASE account – go to myASE and log in. If you have taken ASE tests before, you already have a myASE account established. If not, you can create one for free. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it from the myASE login page.

2. Register for the tests – use myASE to register for one or more ASE certification tests. There is a $34 registration fee, plus a $56 test fee for most tests. Recertification test fees are capped at $168. This does not limit the number of recertification tests you may take, just your cost to take them. You can pay by American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, listing your tests.

3. Schedule an appointment - don’t use the online appointment scheduling feature in myASE or call Prometric to schedule your testing appointment. Instead, contact the National Test Center (NTC) at:

You can take one or more tests in one appointment, time permitting. Each test is separately time-limited. Click here and scroll down to view the number of questions and time allowed for each test. There is no admin/sitting fee to take an ASE certification test at UMGC NTC sites above.

4. Take your tests – arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your appointment start time with your Registration Ticket, and government-issued photo ID in hand. You will view a tutorial on how to navigate the computer-based test, take the actual ASE test, and then view a short survey on your testing experience.
