INFORMATION ABOUT ON-SITE EVALUATION TEAMS
The program requesting certification is responsible for recruiting and
recommending on-site evaluation team members. The ETL must
approve individuals recommended by the program. The on-site
evaluation team members must be practicing automobile technicians,
service managers or shop owners from businesses in the area served
by the training program. For initial certification only, one team
member may be an automobile instructor from another school
district/system*.
Team members must have:
- a high school diploma or the equivalent (industry or military
training may be considered as the equivalent), and
- at least seven years full-time experience as a general
automobile technician.
ASE automobile certification is recommended but not
required.
* An automobile instructor from another school district/system must
have a minimum total of seven years experience, which must include
three or more years full-time experience as an automobile technician
and three or more years of post high school training.
The initial certification evaluation team is composed of four
individuals: the ETL and three team members. Two team members
must be from industry (one from a dealership and one from an
independent repair facility). The third member may be from one of
the following: a dealership, an independent repair facility or an
automobile training program.
The recertification evaluation team is composed of three individuals:
the ETL and two team members. One team member must be from a
dealership and one team member must be from an independent repair
facility.
Each program requesting initial certification or recertification must
identify their choices for evaluation team members on the On-Site
Evaluation Team Member List. An alternate team member choice
must be identified on the On-Site Evaluation Team Member List in
the event that one of the team members is unable to conduct the on-
site evaluation. The alternate team member must be from either a
dealership or from an independent repair facility.
Team members must not be advisory committee members, former
instructors, or graduates of the program within the past ten years.
