Certified Master here. And for what it’s worth, all that truly means is that I’m good at standardized test taking. I took all 8 in one shot, 4 one night, 4 the next, no problem. Being totally honest, I would bet my wife would pass at least 4 of the 8. I’m not a big fan of the whole ASE thing if you didn’t already get that. ---

i took the electrical one and passed. i laughed the whole time. i don’t like the tests only because we had a guy who was L1 certified, went through the 4 yr canadian school or w/e it was and it took him 14 hours to do a starter on a bmw, after completion of doing it, took it on a road test and realized he forgot 2 bolts on the lower crossmember, pulls over on the side of transit rd around 4:45pm and leaves the door open in the rain to look underneath the car to see what the noise was… but the ase cert looks great on paper ---

I am Master Certified and have recerted this past year. I also have my L1 advanced automotive diagnostic cert. I like the system. If every one could pass, they would. I think it looks good on paper, that said, doesn’t mean you need them to make you a good tech. It’s a nice distinction from the everyday run of the mill grease monkey stigma. ---

Hey man don’t waste time with the ASE shit. It’s a waste of time. My suggestion to you is go get yourself an engineering degree first. Forget about BA in business. Work in the industry as an engineer for a few years then go for an MBA.
