How to Become ASE 609 Certified

The ASE was established in 1972 as an independent certification agency for mechanics to provide consumers with a means of determining if a mechanic is qualified. The ASE offers over 40 different certification exams in different mechanical specialties. Beginning in 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency began requiring all mechanics servicing air conditioning systems in motor vehicles to become ASE 609 certified, indicating competence in the proper environmental handling of refrigerant. As of 2010, ASE 609 certification is available online for a fee of $15.
