ASE Statistics

The following lists the number of professionals currently certified by ASE. The information is accurate through the Spring 2010 ASE test series. It is updated twice a year, after ASE's Spring and Fall test series. ASE certifications are valid for five years, after which time, technicians must retest in order to remain in the program. Recertification affords technicians an opportunity to show they are keeping up with technology.
