The ASE Education Foundation requires that instructors of accredited training programs must attend a minimum of 20 hours per year of recognized industry update training relevant to their program accreditation.
What is acceptable as industry-based training?
The ASE Education Foundation will accept training which is completed through organizations like (but not limited to) manufacturers, equipment vendors, accredited training service providers.
What is required as proof of completion of training?
During the on-site evaluation process, instructors must be able to provide a documented description of the training program via a brochure, flyer, training catalog, written training plan, or information from the Internet. A certificate of completion is also required. If your training source is unable to provide these items, please seek other means of training, as it will not be accepted.

How is E-Learning defined in terms of program accreditation?
The ASE Education Foundation’s definition of e-learning is: an electronically based instructor-managed and student-driven process that enhances and/or supplements learning—outside the regularly scheduled classroom and lab/shop timeframe—and includes integrated and scored auditable assessment and reporting in compliance with the ASE Education Foundation’s e-learning general framework criteria.
The definition is easier to understand when it is examined in smaller phrases. In other words, the instructor will determine the course content and each student will be responsible for learning the content. The course content must enhance and/or supplement the instruction delivered during regularly scheduled classroom and lab/shop instructional time. To meet the requirements, e-learning must take place outside of the classroom and lab/shop time (using a computer at home, public library, school computer lab, etc.). E-learning curricular materials must include tests to assess student knowledge and understanding of the content. E-learning instructional materials must incorporate an electronic Learning Management System (LMS) to track student progress and provide reports to the instructor.
What is a Learning Management System (LMS)?
A LMS is an interactive electronic instructional delivery platform that also includes an administrative component to monitor and report student progress, time on task, and evaluations of all learning activities performed within the LMS.
Can e-learning count toward meeting hour requirements for program accreditation in each content area?
Yes, E-learning that is completed outside regularly scheduled program hours can count for up to 25 percent of the required hours.
For example, up to 25 percent of the hour requirement for a program accredited at the Maintenance & Light Repair level, 135 of the 540 required hours could be delivered using e-learning instructional materials.
Which tasks lend themselves to e-learning?
That’s a good question and one that requires careful consideration on the part of the instructor(s) and advisory committee. Instructors may find that e-learning may be most appropriate for the introduction of theory and demonstration of how to perform a task, similar to an instructor demonstrating performance of a task to students. Using e-learning instructional materials, some tasks may be introduced outside of regularly scheduled classroom time followed by additional information and/or ‘hands-on’ component (application) within the classroom and lab/shop time. Providers of e-learning instructional materials must identify an average or approximate time that is required to complete a learning activity. That said, many instructors say that one of the benefits of e-learning is that students can review the information as many times as necessary to learn the material.
Please keep in mind the sophistication of the software may dictate, to some degree, the tasks that can be taught via e-learning. Additionally, the program advisory committee is a valuable resource in determining the content of the instruction that could be taught via e-learning.
How do we calculate the average time to complete an e-learning activity?
Software providers should establish the average time required to complete a learning activity as part of their instructional materials package. This should be based on a study of the actual time representative students take to complete a learning activity. This study should be reviewed occasionally for accuracy. The software provider must maintain documentation that indicates when and how the study was initially conducted as well as when any subsequent reviews or adjustments were performed. The ASE Education Foundation reserves the right to review this documentation.
What kind of documentation must a program provide to the on-site team to use e-learning activities for program accreditation?
Standard 12 is specifically for programs that use e-learning to meet the hour requirements for program accreditation. Standard 12 includes six criteria that require a Yes or No response. Programs must be able to document they can achieve a ‘YES’ response for all six criteria before a program can apply the hours for program accreditation purposes.
The six criteria are:
• Is there documentation that students have access to appropriate technology for e-learning purposes?
• Are the content/tasks and program hours that are to be delivered via e-learning clearly highlighted in the course of study?
• Is there documentation that e-learning is incorporated into the content/tasks in the program plan?
• Do the instructional hours to be credited toward meeting up to 25 percent of the program specialty hour requirements correlate with the software provider’s average completion time for each instructional module?
• Is there documentation of the implementation and use of e-learning instructional materials as evidenced in a learning management system?
• Are Advisory Committee meeting minutes available to confirm that the committee has discussed and approved e-learning?
If e-learning materials are used for the purpose of program accreditation, do all of the students have to participate?
Yes, e-learning is not a selective process, but must be available to all students enrolled in the program.
Can our school develop an e-learning system and how do we know if the e-learning process being used will be acceptable to the on-site evaluation team?
The ASE Education Foundation suggests that the criteria listed in Standard 12 be reviewed first. Have the program Advisory Committee discuss and endorse the e-learning process and record the Advisory Committee’s endorsement in the meeting minutes. During the program’s self-evaluation process, provide the documentation needed to answer the six Yes or No questions. If your program can provide the documentation to answer Yes to each of the six questions for e-learning activities that take place outside of classroom and lab/shop time, up to 25% of the hours (not tasks), the e-learning option should be acceptable.
We use e-learning curricular materials during classroom and lab/shop time; will that count?
No, time spent using e-learning curricular materials during classroom and lab/shop time is already counted as part of the regular program hours.
