Congrats dude! I can’t wait to get my inspection license, start making the money then

Good job! How long did it take you to get your certificates, if you don’t mind me asking?

[dave]

took me about a year… I did state testing concurrently with my automotive degree; each area of automotive repair I completed in school I would test with the state… usually before I even completed the class. Since I have a prior degree, it has only taken me 1 year to get a degree in automotive technology… and it has been a blast because for a solid year I have focused solely on automotive repair (no math, English, or philosophy or anything) 🙂

I’ve also taken 2 ASE tests and passed them… but still need 200 hours of real life experience before I get any of these certifications; need 2,000 hours of real life experience if no degree program, or 1,000 hours of experience if enrolled in a degree program…. and I have about 800 hours of experience before being fired from autozone. 🙂

Congrats!

Cool! That’s good that you only had automotive courses. I’m on my last semester and they’ve given us a bunch of business courses which I find unnecessary. Congrats again!

Never heard of state licensing for auto mechanics here in Kentucky. Anybody with the skills and tools can work on cars as far as I know. Of course the ASE certifications help with demonstrating ability and such.

Forgot to say congrats! banana:
