Re: A$E te$t time

What about just taking the master and maybe another this year, then another two or so each year? I always hated the Mechanic A says Mechanic B says questions.

I could have guessed.
I recently checked on mig welding test,some license issued. Simply thinner car stuff repair..
I can't even remember if that was ASE associated or not. I wanted it to throw on the face of the retarded inspectors I have run into here...

How many hours does one weld before becoming a welder? :

Being a survivor of the anal retentive pile pf paperwork in the military.. I do not have all that much faith on it. Mechanical people are just that..formal stuff is something to humor later. I like ford's approach.

Re: A$E te$t time

Re: A$E te$t time

This was one of the motivating factors behind parking the toolbox permanently.....ASE certification meant something in the beginning.

But it quickly became nothing more than a source of raised revenue for shops...that blue-and-white sign means you're gonna pay more.

Jim, I give ya props for maintaining your status with ASE....never got to Master level.......I still remember getting letters in the mail about my (few)certifications expiring soon and I "needed to re-test IMMEDIATELY in order to maintain my certs".

I threw it in the burn barrel, gave it my signature salute, and lit the sumbitch, post-haste.

In this area, ASE's haven't meant much in 15 years, or so.

It's just a bullshit piece of paper, from a too easy test.
I felt that our Michigan certification tests were much harder,
and actually tested your ability to diagnose,
or knowledge of a specific system.

They, IMO are just another piece of paper hung on a wall,
to impress the uninformed.
