Accredited Master Automobile Service Technology

What does ASE Accreditation Mean? ASE is the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence and established by the automotive industry to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through testing and certification. The ASE Education Foundation is a foundation within the ASE organization. The ASE Education Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of automotive technician training programs through voluntary accreditation. The ASE Education Foundation is responsible for the evaluation process, and makes recommendations for ASE program accreditation based on their evaluation. To achieve Master accreditation, a program must pass an evaluation in all eight (8) automobile related areas: 1. Brakes 2. Electrical/Electronic Systems 3. Engine Performance 4. Suspension and Steering 5. Automatic Transmission and Transaxle 6. Engine Repair 7. Heating and Air Conditioning 8. Manual Drive Train and Axles How did our Automotive Program Become ASE Master Accredited? This campus underwent an extensive on-site ASE Education Foundation review process conducted by an independent evaluation team. The team evaluated the program against standards to include administration, learning resources, finances, student services, instruction, equipment, facilities, instructional staff, and cooperative agreements. Following the completion of this evaluation, the team leader submitted their recommendation to ASE for accreditation. This campus met compliance in all areas and was awarded accreditation for Master Automobile Service Technology designation. Are our Instructors ASE Certified? Yes, all of our automotive instructors are required to actively hold the ASE G1 and A6 Certifications and be ASE certified in the areas they teach. How do our Graduates benefit from an ASE Master Accredited Program? To become ASE Certified, a person must meet a minimum level of related work experience and pass ASE certification examinations. A graduate from our ASE Automotive Technology Program may be eligible to substitute the training for up to one year of work experience. For additional information, please visit the ASE website.
