Introducing AST STATE CERTIFICATION, the new standard in EOPA testing
The AST State Certification is designed for students who are beginning their automotive careers and have completed a high school or post-secondary training program in automotive technology. This certification provides an opportunity for new technicians to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in specific areas of automotive service and repair.
Test Information:
- Test Format: The AST State Certification exams are computer-based and consist of multiple-choice questions. Each test covers specific areas of automotive service, such as engine repair, brakes, suspension and steering, electrical/electronic systems, and more.
- Number of Questions: Each exam typically contains 40 to 60 questions, depending on the specific area of certification.
- Time Limit: Test-takers are usually given about 60 to 90 minutes to complete each exam, though this can vary depending on the specific test.
- Scoring: The exams are scored on a pass/fail basis. To pass, test-takers must achieve a score that meets or exceeds the predetermined cut-off for each specific test.
Requirements:
- Completion of Training: The AST State Certification is aimed at students who have completed a high school or post-secondary automotive training program. The training should cover the areas in which the student is seeking certification.
- Instructional Hours: It is generally recommended that students have around 300 instructional hours in the relevant area of study before attempting the AST State Certification exam. This helps ensure they have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills.
- No Work Experience Required: Unlike full professional certifications, the AST State Certification does not require prior work experience. It is intended for those who are new to the field.
Prerequisites:
- Enrollment in or Completion of an Automotive Training Program: Candidates must be enrolled in or have completed a high school or post-secondary automotive technology program.
- Basic Knowledge and Skills: Candidates should have a basic understanding of automotive systems and the principles of vehicle maintenance and repair. The curriculum of their training program should align with the areas covered by the AST State Certification exams.
- Age Requirement: While there is no strict age requirement, the certification is typically pursued by students who are nearing the end of their automotive training or have recently completed it.
Certification Validity:
- Duration: AST State Certification is valid for two years. After this period, the certification expires, and the individual is encouraged to pursue full professional certification, which requires work experience and passing more advanced exams.
Benefits:
- Credential for New Technicians: This certification provides a recognized credential for new technicians entering the automotive industry, helping them demonstrate their foundational knowledge to potential employers.
- Pathway to Professional Certification: The AST State Certification serves as a stepping stone toward full professional certification, which is recognized and respected across the automotive industry.
The choice is clear when comparing AST STATE CERTIFICATION to the old ASE Entry-Level Certification

ASE Test Prep LLC seeks endorsements from automotive service industry leaders
ASE Test Prep introduces Automotive Student Testing (AST) State Certification, an alternative to ASE Entry-Level Certification in automotive education.
Is AST Student Certification like ASE Entry-Level Certification?
Yes, AST Student Certification closely aligns with ASE Entry-Level Certification test specifications and published Task Lists, presenting similar diagnostic challenges as the ASE MAST Series, MLR, and AST tests.
Why the new Certification?
Secondary automotive education often faces budget constraints, leading to outdated equipment and doing more with less. ASE Test Prep’s affordable certification upholds ASE standards at half the cost, freeing up funds for better equipment and enhancing education.
