you can go ase.com. register for them and find testing locations. it should be about $65 to take a test. there are lots of tests..

 

Which Ase Certification You Want?? I Am Ase Certified P2 A1 A6 A8 It Is Like 65 To Test... And 35 When You Have To Re Certify

 

yeah just go to the website and look for testing locals and sign up for them...I'm ASE master and I didnt find the tests to be impossible, a few questions were challenging and some of the questions were outdated. I think someone with a very good understanding of basic automotive mechanics can pass the tests.
I think that you have to have a certain amount of years of actual experience (2yrs maybe) to get your papers though.

 

i just want whatever i need to get a good mechanic job. most mechanic jobs i see say they want the person to be ASE qualified

 

MOST times you will need some experience to pass the tests. Best advice I can give you is to go to a dealer and start by changing oil, or an apprentice of some kind. Thats what I did. Here I am 9 yrs later, ASE master certified and GM master certified.... woohoo

 

^^ Yep, if you find a shop that supports the ASE program, they will usually pay for you to take the tests. If you have the experience they are pretty ease. Of course I only took what I need to get my "master truck tech".....

 

San Jacinto South Campus in Pasadena/Deer Park offers the ASE classes, buddy of mine got his there and is working for Mac Haik.

 

The ASE test arent that hard if you read them and pay close attention, ive notcied most questions are just worded tricky yet are simple.
