Certifications
After two years of hands-on experience, mechanics are eligible to earn a number of certifications offered by The Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Certification not only gives students a sense of achievement and credibility, but it also opens up doors for career advancement and pay increase. National Guard members are eligible to receive a GI Bill reimbursement for each certification test. Visit Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) for more information.
