It covers detailed information on the technology found in most of today’s automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks. The specific information about each test, found in the following pages, should help you review the technical knowledge that is covered in the Automobile tests. And if needed, you should find it easier to select additional reference materials that will help you prepare for your test(s) .  \nASE voluntary certification helps technicians prove their abilities to themselves, to their employers, and to their customers. By passing ASE tests, you will earn the most valuable credential available to automotive technicians. Because the tests are tough, you’ll have the satisfaction of proving to yourself that you are among the elite in your profession. What’s more, these credentials are recognized throughout the U.S.  \nCertified technicians promote customer trust and improve the image of the industry. And trust and professionalism are the first steps to a better, more prosperous business.  \nASE encourages you to take the tests and to join the proven pros who wear the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence® .  \nHow Do I Become Certified?  \nThere are nine tests in the Automobile Technician certification series. If you pass one or more tests, and have at least two years of hands-on working experience in automotive repair (appropriate training may substitute for up to one year of experience), you will become certified as an ASE Automobile Technician.  \nIf you pass tests A1 through A8 and meet the experience requirement, you will earn the certificate of Master Automobile Technician. Note: Test A9 is not required for Master Automobile Technician status.  \nYou must have passed test A8 to be eligible to take the Advanced Engine Performance Specialist (L1) Test. To take the Light Duty Hybrid/Electric Vehicle Specialist (L3) Test, you must have passed both the A6 and A8 tests.  \nYou will receive your test results at the end of your test appointment. You can review and print them later by logging in to your MyASE account. Results  \noVerVIew (contInued)  \nwill not be given over the phone nor will they be released to anyone without your written permission.
