The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is moving its certification tests for the automobile advanced engine performance specialist (L1) and medium/heavy truck electronic diesel engine diagnosis specialist (L2) to a paperless format.

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is moving its certification tests for the automobile advanced engine performance specialist (L1) and medium/heavy truck electronic diesel engine diagnosis specialist (L2) to a paperless format.

“We know that time is valuable for service professionals, so by transitioning to paperless testing, we have made the L1 and L2 testing options more convenient for them,” said Dave Johnson, ASE president and CEO. “Now L1 and L2 test takers can use the ProProctor remote test delivery platform as an option for recertification. Transitioning to a paperless format is just one example of how ASE works to meet the needs of its stakeholders.”

Additionally, the light duty hybrid/electric vehicle specialist (L3) with certification test reference and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) specialist (L4) with composite vehicle are moving to a paperless format as well.

With the new changes, the certification test reference and composite vehicle documents for all ASE advanced level tests will be available during testing in electronic pdf only, ASE noted. 

As for L-Series tests, ASE offers two test-taking options: In-person and remote testing. In-person testing is held throughout the year on days, nights, and weekends at more than 450 secured, proctored Prometric test centers, whereas ProProctor remote testing is available as an online, recertification solution.
