One Morton College automotive technology student added to his credentials and two others passed certification tests offered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
Austreberto Zarco adds Parts Specialist and Service Consultant to his growing list of ASE certification. The Cicero resident, already ASE certified in Automotive Brakes, credits taking an automotive Special Topics course in service consultant procedures over the summer that prepared him to pass the most recent two exams.
Morton College’s automotive technology special topic courses cover a variety of areas and allow instructors the flexibility to offer programs that meet the current job market.
Also gaining ASE certification were Adam Jockl of Berwyn (Engines) and Danny Irizarry of Cicero (Brakes and Manual Transmissions).
“The Service Consultant class prepared me to take the ASE exam,” Zarco said. “Having ASE certification makes me more marketable. In today’s tough job market, I’ll take every edge I can get.”
Morton College’s trio of ASE certified students should have an edge in today’s job market. A report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that automotive service technicians/mechanics are among the nation’s five fastest growing fields.
The ASE certification program is a nationally recognized means of measuring the competency of an automotive technician, according to Dave Hostert, coordinator of Morton College’s Automotive Technology program.
“The ASE tests are the industry standard for automotive technicians,” added Don Sykora, Morton College Automotive Technology instructor. “The fact that our students successfully completed the tests demonstrates an impressive accomplishment.”
Morton College’s Automotive Technology Program is Master Certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and designated as a National Training Center by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC).
The Spring Semester starts Tuesday, January 20, at Morton College. Call (708) 656-8000 Ext. 250 or go to www.morton.edu for more information.
