ASE Winter Registration Now Open

Leesburg, Virginia 13/01/2026

The winter registration period for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification testing is now open. Those who register by the March 31 deadline will have 90 days to schedule an appointment to take their selected ASE certification tests.

To register, create or sign in to your myASE account at myASE.com. Once logged in, users can click on "orders" and then "store" where they can locate the tests they want to take. After adding those tests to the cart, they can check out and registration is complete.

To register, ASE provides three convenient certification options:

  1. In-Person Testing: All tests can be taken in person at over 450 secure, proctored Prometric test centers, available year-round on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
  1. ProProctor Remote Testing: This online option allows individuals to take ASE recertification tests remotely. In addition, the auto maintenance and light repair (G1) initial certification test can be taken remotely through ProProctor.
  1. ASE Renewal App: For those who have been certified in the automobile certifications (A1-A9) series, the renewal app offers a streamlined way to manage recertification on a mobile device. If automotive service professionals have expired A-series tests, they can still use the app, but it will take at least eight months to get certified that way.

To help with test preparation, ASE provides free study guides that include test overviews, sample questions and study tips, and are ideal for assessing readiness and focusing preparation efforts.

For assistance, registrants should contact ASE customer service at 800-390-6789.
