OTC Student Earns 8th ASE Automotive Certification
Congratulations to OTC Automotive student William Gath who has successfully passed his 8th ASE Automotive certification test achieving Master status! Since the inception of the ASE student lead workshops a little over a year ago there has been a visible uptick on campus in the number of students taking their ASE certification tests – and passing them. ASE’s are recognized by the transportation industry as the foundation of the skill level of their technicians.
ASE’s usually mean a better rate of pay as well as other perks for the individual technician who has them. Of course, it is overall productivity and the accuracy of completed jobs that make a complete package. Students receive one year of credit for attending OTC towards their two-year requirement of field experience to become Master certified. Gath took the L1 and missed passing by two questions. He plans on taking it again before his February graduation. If both Gath and Marques achieve their individual goals by graduation they will collectively hold 27 ASE’s!
