Professional licensure
Students are eligible to receive the ASE national credential which is not recognized by all states for licensure. The Automotive Service license can be earned in Michigan. Each state has their own requirements. There is no guarantee of licensing in another state. You may apply and that state's licensing board will look at your credentials/education and decide requirements for gaining the license. Please contact the Coordinator for further information.
