Are you looking for an easy, yet in-depth way to prepare for the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exams? Prepare for the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exams online with ease! ASE TECHNICIAN TEST PREPARATION (TTP) FOR TRANSIT BUS ensures that those preparing to take an ASE certification exam are equipped for success. This robust online product features all of the necessary components a user needs to successfully prepare for ASE certification. A detailed, three-tiered preparatory methodology (Practice, Standard, and Timed testing modes) is designed to ensure users increase confidence not only in answering task-list based questions correctly, but also in gaining test-taking assurance when performing in a simulated, timed exam environment. The Practice mode, the suggested starting preparatory test mode, provides detailed, question level remediation with each question response. This includes answer explanations, links to the relevant task list area(s) being assessed, digitized videos, animations, and full-color, engaging graphics designed to increase learning efficiency. The Standard mode removes the remediation element, and begins to transition the user to ensure comfort in a simulated online test taking environment. The Timed mode simulates most closely the actual ASE exam, where each preparation exam is timed and results achieved are viewed only at the completion of the entire set of questions for each test area.

This is a self-paced class.

Attracting and retaining talented employees promotes the health and success of your organization. High-retention workplaces tend to employ more engaged workers who, in turn, get more done. Engaged employees are more likely to improve customer relationships. In this class, we will teach how to identify sources of employees in your industry, how to establish pay rates, and tools for greater retention. We will also teach you the importance of maintaining a labor manual including specific labor policies and employee benefits.

In this three-week class, students will learn to use a stick welder.  Proper techniques and safety will be emphasized throughout the course.

Students will be introduced to welding processes and rod types, as well as welding basics: positioning, rod speed/angle, and proper welding techniques.

Students will learn the horizontal position (2G), the vertical position (3G), and finally the overhead position (4G). By the last week, they will be expected to weld in all three positions, moving from one to the other and understanding what is needed to perform a certain weld.

Once the course has been completed, students can decide whether they are prepared to schedule a date at EMCC to test for their certification.
