The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is now offering vouchers for EV certification testing, according to a press release.
The ASE recently released new standards for working with or around electrified vehicles, called Electric Vehicle Technician/Shop Personnel Electrical Safety Standards. With these new standards came two new tests: xEV Electrical Safety Awareness Certification (Level One) and Technician Electrical Safety Certification (Level Two).
Shop owners who want to encourage their employees to become certified in EV work are now able to purchase vouchers online for their employees to have access to taking these tests. Upon purchasing vouchers, they can be distributed to others, who will only need to make an account on ASE’s website to take the test.
“We have had a very positive response to the recent introduction of our new EV standards and testing program,” stated ASE President Tim Zilke. “These tests were developed in conjunction with industry experts so they will be challenging, but more importantly, they will ensure that automotive service professionals who earn the credentials are well prepared to service and repair hybrid and electric vehicles.”
