Through its partnership with Prometric, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) announced it will now offer the ProProctor remote testing option as a recertification solution.
Available for all ASE recertifications tests, excluding L1 and L2 tests, the ProProctor testing option allows service professionals looking to recertify their ASE certifications without having to go to a test center, according to a press release from ASE.
The tests still need to be scheduled in advance but can be taken at any time.
Prometric's test proctors constantly monitor test takers during the tests, but will never have access to test content, which minimizes the exposure of the test questions. Prometric also has all the tools, systems, and processes in place to ensure the privacy of the test takers’ personal data, the press release noted.
No matter which option a service professional chooses, in-person or online, they will have the same screen experience and use the same test driver.
To take the recertification tests remotely, there will still be a check-in and screening process similar to that at a test center. Test takers will also need to download the ProProctor application to a computer and complete a system check the day before testing. Additionally, the room used for testing must meet Prometric’s requirements to ensure a controlled environment.
