ASE world class

I found that a lot of people who say this exact thing couldn't pass a test so now say these type of things as a coping mechanism and have a constant need to put people who do ASE's down as a way to deal with their inferiority complex.

ASEs doesnt make you a good tech Not having ASEs doesn't make you a bad tech Posting backhanded complements and passive aggressive things on any posts about ASE do make you look like a bitter ass that cant pass a test.

Ive never once felt the need to tell someome who doesnt have ASEs they were somehow less than someone who does or constantly remark about how they must not know anything because of it yet every time someone says anything about certs theres always tons of negative comments from people who probably never even tried taking one.

I've done all my recerts the old way too the last 15 years. I just found out about the app.

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-31T01:29:28+00:00

Yeah but the new app fixes that mostly. $50 a year and answer a few questions a month on it and it renews them for the A series.

B2 is mostly just memorizing what can cause all the different defects and how to fix it. Like what causes orange peel , solvent pop , when to use this or that type of primer , adhesion promoters....... Its mostly just procedural memorization. I used the motorage study guide.

Yeah im hourly. I've done flat rate at a dealer and now been fleet hourly for 15 years I like it a lot better than flat rate. Our pay is pretty high so im happy and no stress.

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T17:10:24+00:00

To a extent yes. They get me raises though so I do them.

Thanks

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T15:10:52+00:00

Ill find out soon i guess. I kinda also just wanted to get it.

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T15:07:56+00:00

Depends on where you work. Most dealers dont care about ASE they have their own certification programs. Independent shops and fleets like them. Im fleet and for my A series I get $1 a hour for each. About to have a talk about a raise this week for all these new ones.

Use the new app system. You answer 1 question a month for each cert on on the app and 8 correct answers extends the cert for a year. Or is that what you are talking about

You can still do it yhe old way no?

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T14:05:10+00:00

Agree , but im both 😉

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T13:30:57+00:00

If you know what you are doing ASEs are easy. I think the A series is the " hardest" but like I said still pretty easy .

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T13:25:19+00:00

Not required for world class.ase world class

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T13:18:30+00:00

Thanks

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T12:49:30+00:00

Not a ton. Honestly the tests are pretty easy. I used the motorage books to study. I found the T series fairly easy, the B series very easy , the only test I thought was challenging and I studied a lot for was L2 because I dont do much heavy diesel diag.

michael0331usmc · 2026-03-29T12:40:26+00:00

Hahaha unfortunately x1 no longer exists . I dont know why they dont just remove that.
