Honda Expands ASE Certification Credit Program to Boost Technician Training

Honda has partnered with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence to establish manufacturer course credit equivalencies tied to specific ASE certifications, as announced in a recent press release.

Honda has expanded its list of eligible training modules that qualify for credit through ASE certifications. This update includes the addition of several training center modules and new self-study segments. The program also encompasses Honda training credit eligibility for ASE G1, L1, L2, L3, and L4 certifications, as well as ASE C1 and P2 certifications for service advisors and parts specialists. Honda also offers module credit for the ASE A1-A8 certifications.

“By utilizing ASE certifications as course credit equivalencies, Honda is able to free up valuable training capacity and direct it toward technicians who need foundational development most, resulting in a more efficient training system and greater productivity across the entire dealer network,” said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE. “We encourage other OEMs to evaluate and establish their own ASE certification equivalencies. Leveraging ASE certifications as a recognized, industry-wide standard for technician competency is not only achievable, but also a powerful investment in technician development, dealer efficiency and the long-term health of the automotive service industry.”
