Preview of changes to the 2010 Masters Program, including elimination of the ASE requirement

Makes me on happy mofo.

We don't have ASE requirements here.

 

But you do need a provincial ticket to fix cars.

 

And a different one to fix trucks.

 

And a different one to fix farm equipment.

 

And a different one to fix Diesel Engines.

But ASE comes to them guys about every 5 years... Technician A says thet they will ask for more money..... Technician B says that they will make you write a test. Who is right?

 

ASE tried making inroads into (at least) Alberta... at 50 bux a test (this is in 1980s dollars), I bought a masters certification. The questions ranged from "DUH" to "Who the fuck does THAT any more?".

"Who the fuck does THAT any more?".

Sounds like the Ontario Certificate of Qualification exam...

I saw that and thought YES then thought that if I ever decide to leave the dealership world it may be a plus to keep them current.
