The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence is conducting a survey on engine performance task list review and will use survey answers to help drive content of technical training and certification standards across the industry. Participants do not need to be ASE-certified to take the survey.
As a thank you, ASE will randomly award $100 Cabela’s gift cards to five individuals who share their time and experience by taking the survey.
ASE is an industry-created and directed organization and is dependent on the industry for input. Certification tasks and test questions are written by industry subject matter experts from dealers, independent repair shops, after-market suppliers, OEMs and trainers. ASE has been commissioned to conduct a series of surveys, and responses will help drive certification standards, as well as technical training.
