Recognition
ASE accredited schools are recognized for career-preparedness and featured on the ASE Find-a-School page, which connects interested students with nearby training programs.
Advisory Committee Support
A strong Advisory Committee helps support each program. This committee includes industry partners and supporters who help schools successfully bridge the gap between real world needs and classroom activities.
Industry Collaboration
Corporate supporters and partners of the ASE Education Foundation support ASE accredited schools in many ways, including donations of training aids, vehicles, components, and curriculum.
A Higher Standard for Real-World Learning
Students want and deserve a rigorous program of learning that equips them with the skills they need to get a job, not a “hobby shop” experience. ASE accredited schools have the curriculum, tools, equipment, facilities, trained instructors, and support from administration and industry to give their students that education.
Successful Graduates
Graduates from ASE accredited schools feel more prepared to enter their careers and are more likely to remain in the industry long term. Many go on to become ASE certified professionals and out earn their peers.
