It offers more than 50 certifications for automotive technicians and mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASE has divided these tests into 17 series, where each sequence corresponds to a particular class of vehicles and services. Passing all the tests in a specific series can grant you the status of a master technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each certification test in a series covers all the major aspects of a specific discipline that a diesel mechanic should know. Obtaining an ASE certification shows that a diesel mechanic has achieved above-average skills in a particular domain. These are the top certifications that a diesel mechanic can apply for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A9_Light_Vehicle_Diesel_Engines\"><\/span>A9 Light Vehicle Diesel Engines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The A9 certification falls under the Automobile and Light Truck Series. ASE grants this certificate to diesel mechanics who can demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose, service, and repair diesel engines of cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"T2_Medium_Heavy_Truck_Diesel_Engines\"><\/span>T2 Medium Heavy Truck Diesel Engines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Diesel Mechanics who can work with medium and heavy trucks and tractors can apply for this certification. The T2 certificate covers the various diesel engine systems in Class 4 to Class 8 trucks and tractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"H2_Transit_Bus_Diesel_Engines\"><\/span>H2 Transit Bus Diesel Engines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to pursue a career in the repair and maintenance of transit buses&#8217; diesel engines, you can apply for the H2 certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASE conducts this certification test with the support of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). This certification is completely distinct from medium-heavy trucks and buses, with unique concentrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"S2_School_Bus_Diesel_Engines\"><\/span>S2 School Bus Diesel Engines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ASE initiated the school bus certifications at the request of the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT). A diesel mechanic with demonstrated knowledge in repair, maintenance, and service of Type A, B, C, and D school buses&#8217; engines can apply for this certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"L2_Electronic_Diesel_Engine_Diagnosis_Specialist\"><\/span>L2 Electronic Diesel Engine Diagnosis Specialist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>L2 is an advanced certification test that aims to identify mechanics who can diagnose complex engine performance problems on medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Mechanics who wish to register for this test must have passed one of the Diesel Engine tests (A9, H2, S2, or T2) and one of the Electrical\/Electronic Systems tests (A6, H6, S6, or T6).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap sue-content-wrap sue-shadow-inline-yes grid-container\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-default\">\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"top diesel mechanic certifications\" class=\"wp-image-17754\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/auto-mechanic-working-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electrical_Certification_Tests_for_Diesel_Mechanics\"><\/span>Electrical Certification Tests for Diesel Mechanics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern diesel technology features a complex network of electrical and electronic systems. A diesel mechanic can select from the following certifications to highlight their knowledge of advanced electronic systems in cars and trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electrical certifications fall under the same series that offer diesel mechanic certifications.
