professional automotive technicians specialize only in a few automotive systems.
Most Technicians are tested and certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Qualified Technicians can be tested and certified in any one of the 8 general automotive areas. An ASE Certified Technician has passed at least one area of the 8 areas. A Technician that has certified in all 8 areas is known as an ASE Master Certified Technician.
