Hahaha, I think were talking about something a bit more structured/formal than the certification you can get from EFI University. Their ceritification is simply a measurement to their standards. It is not governed, nor regulated and as someone that has completed a good number of EFI101 courses, I can tell you this certification is nothing more than a marketing tactic to drive people to take more courses.
One can take the EFI101 ACP course and in 5 Days be a “certified” tuner. Do you honestly think a person with 5 days experience can do a good job?
Don’t get me wrong, EFI101 courses are actually very good and I don’t regret spending some of my money there, but their certification doesn’t really say all that much.
