The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence is now offering an online version of its automobile maintenance and light repair technician (G1) certification test, according to a press release.
Tests are completed online via Prometric’s ProProctor, a remote platform.
The ASE G1 test serves to identify technicians who can perform the most common maintenance and light repair tasks. It contains 55 scored questions, plus 10 unscored research questions covering knowledge of the skills related to maintenance and light repairs in engine systems, automatic transmission/transaxle, manual drive train and axles, suspension and steering, brakes, electrical and heating and air conditioning.
“At ASE, we continually strive to improve the test-taking experience and that is why we have expanded ASE remote testing to include the G1 certification test,” said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE. “ProProctor remote testing has become very popular among those taking ASE recertification tests. By adding this option for the G1 test, we can offer more flexibility to those pursuing this initial certification test.”
