The ASE Education Foundation sets the accreditation standard for automotive, diesel and collision repair training in the United States, and is the body that determines whether a given school's programme meets industry requirements. It reports supporting 1,800 schools with ASE training programmes and roughly 118,000 currently enrolled students. For students the practical entry points are its Entry-Level Certification tests, of which the Foundation records 148,864 passes, and its accredited-school finder, which is the reliable way to check that a transportation-technician programme is industry recognised before enrolling. The Foundation also runs a scholarship programme, apprenticeship grants including a federal grant programme, and employer connections for internships and mentorships.
