About ASE 

What Does ASE Do?
ASE promotes excellence in vehicle repair, service and parts distribution. Over a quarter of a million individuals hold ASE certifications. ASE Certified professionals work in every part of the transportation industry. 

Why Does ASE Exist?
ASE exists to protect the automotive service customer, shop owner and service professional. We test and certify automotive service professionals so that the shop owners and service customers can better gauge a technician’s level of expertise before contracting the technician’s services. We certify the service individual, so they can offer tangible proof of their technical knowledge. ASE Certified professionals mean peace of mind for auto service managers and customers.

How Does ASE Certification Work?
In addition to passing an ASE certification test, automotive technicians must have two years of on-the-job-training or one year of on-the-job-training and a two-year degree in automotive repair to qualify for certification.

The tests are challenging. Only two out of every three test takers pass on their first attempt. To remain ASE Certified, professionals must retest every five years to keep up with ever-advancing automotive technology.

Who Writes the ASE Certification Tests?
ASE Certification tests are written in workshops by panels of seasoned automotive industry professionals and executives, including working technicians, automobile manufacturers, aftermarket manufacturers, and educators – not by any single person at ASE.

Tests are segmented by sub-specialty such as automobile, medium/heavy truck, truck equipment, school bus, collision repair, and more. There are 52 tests each designed to discern the service individual’s knowledge of job-related skills.

ASE Statistics
Across the country, there are hundreds of thousands of auto professionals who are ASE Certified in dozens of specialty areas, including many professionals who are certified in multiple areas. LEARN MORE

Background

In 2017, the Florida Legislature amended section 1007.25, Florida Statutes, and introduced a new civic literacy requirement for all students graduating from a Florida public postsecondary institution. Beginning in the fall of 2018, students entering a Florida public postsecondary institution for the first time would need to demonstrate civic literacy by either taking a specific course or passing an assessment. The 2021 Legislature amended section 1007.25, Florida Statutes, requiring students to complete both a course and an assessment. In 2024, the Board of Governors revised Regulation 8.006 to include the course AMH X010 to meet civic literacy competencies and to better align the regulation to the Florida Department of Education rule. As a result of these changes, four cohorts of students are currently matriculating through Florida public postsecondary institutions subject to varying civic literacy competency requirements.

Table 1 below outlines the civic literacy requirements based on the specified date of the academic term in which a student initially entered a State University System (SUS) or Florida College System (FCS) institution.

*It is the university’s discretion to determine their academic year.

Additionally, for Cohorts 3 and 4, approved accelerated mechanisms may meet the course and/or assessment requirement, and students who pass the Florida Civic Literacy Examination (FCLE) in high school are exempt from the postsecondary assessment requirement.

Beginning with the fall term 2024 and thereafter, any undergraduate degree-seeking student, regardless of their cohort, can use any of the approved options for Cohort 4 to satisfy civic literacy competency before graduation.

*If completed fall 2024 or after

Click here to learn more about the state of Florida's Civic Literacy Competency Graduation Requirements.

About the FCLE

The FCLE assesses students' civic literacy competency. The four domains and their competency areas include:

• Understanding of the basic principles and practices of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government.
• An understanding of the United States Constitution and its application.
• Knowledge of the founding documents and how they have shaped the nature and functions of our institutions of self-government.
• An understanding of landmark Supreme Court cases, landmark legislation and landmark executive actions and their impact on law and society.

Preparing for an FCLE – In person test:

1. You must be available on the day and time of the scheduled appointment to take the test.
2. Lack of proper identification at the time of check-in will result in denial of admission to the test session.
3. The exam will begin once check-in has been completed. Excessively late arrivals may not be allowed to test and may be required to request a new appointment.
4. A valid, unexpired form of identification is required to be admitted for testing. Listed below are the acceptable forms of identification:

• Government-issued driver's license
• Government-issued photo identity cards 
• U.S. Military ID
• Government Issued Passport or Passport Card
• Naturalization card
