      Autel U.S. announced that its Autel Academy ADAS Training Program has received accreditation from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR).
      ASE and I-CAR Accreditation
      The ASE and I-CAR accreditation confirms that Autel’s instructor-led training program meets the requirements for technician training and development as defined by these organizations. ASE and I-CAR are widely recognized as benchmarks in automotive service and education, and their endorsement signals that Autel’s curriculum delivers industry-relevant instruction aligned with current technological demands.
      Matt Shepanek, vice president of credential testing programs at ASE, emphasized the significance of the accreditation process, noting that it delivers meaningful value for both training providers and the industry. “Accreditation provides training organizations with recognized credibility, ensures their curriculum aligns with current industry standards, and verifies that they are maintaining high-quality instruction, facilities, and resources,” said Shepanek. “Autel successfully met all of these criteria, and we are pleased to recognize them as an ASE-accredited training provider.”
      ADAS Calibration Training Program

The program combines structured classroom instruction with hands-on experience in a dedicated training bay, allowing technicians to work directly with ADAS calibration equipment and real-world vehicle scenarios. The classroom portion delivers a foundational understanding of ADAS theory, including system architecture, sensor types, OEM calibration requirements, and workflow best practices. Hands-on training reinforces this foundation as technicians perform static and dynamic calibrations on vehicles in a controlled, real-world environment.
      The program also emphasizes diagnostic strategy and troubleshooting to help technicians identify and resolve common calibration issues encountered in shop settings. Topics include alignment variables, target placement errors, environmental factors, and system fault conditions.
      Following strong demand,

Technician Certification Assessment and Continuing Education Credits
      To further enhance the program, Autel will introduce a third day of training to its current two-day course. This additional day will include a technician certification assessment, enabling participants to demonstrate mastery of the curriculum.
      Successful completion will provide technicians with ASE and I-CAR continuing education credits, reinforcing both their technical competency and professional credentials.
      “We are proud to have our ADAS Training Program recognized by ASE,” said Chris Gutierrez, Product and Training Director – ADAS, Autel North America. “This accreditation validates the depth and quality of our curriculum and our hands-on approach. Our goal is to ensure technicians leave our program well prepared to perform accurate ADAS calibrations with confidence and consistency in real-world shop environments.”
      Technicians and ADAS Systems
      For technicians, this training represents an opportunity to build expertise in one of the fastest-growing and most technically demanding areas of automotive service. ADAS systems directly impact vehicle safety, and improper calibration can lead to system malfunctions or compromised performance.
      Through Autel’s ASE and I-CAR-accredited program, technicians gain the confidence to perform precise calibrations, reduce liability risks, increase shop efficiency, and position themselves as trusted specialists in advanced vehicle technology.
      With this accreditation, Autel continues to strengthen its role as a trusted partner for repair shops, technicians and industry professionals seeking reliable tools and comprehensive education in ADAS technologies.

      Thirty years ago, I was full of questions. As a rookie counterman, I was also pretty short on answers. I hadn’t “been there, done that” and I didn’t even know about the T-shirt. I was strictly an order-taker, fumbling my way through a catalog of unfamiliar parts and asking a lot of questions. I asked coworkers what parts were called, I asked customers whatever the computer prompted me to, and I even asked myself (several times) if this was the right job for me. Turns out it was, and I just needed to learn to ask the right questions.
      Customers come to us every day for answers, but the search often requires us to ask the right questions before we arrive at the answer to theirs. One of the most difficult types of questions from both sides of the counter involves diagnostics. Ideally, when a customer presents their request, their diagnosis is already complete and accurate. More often, we are also asked to interpret a symptom, translate a printout from a code reader, or offer a solution to a problem we haven’t experienced alongside the customer. 
      Professional technicians have a distinct advantage over parts specialists in the sense that they get to “experience” a repair from beginning to end, rather than being brought in midway through the process. From taking a test drive to performing pinpoint electrical testing or disassembling a component or assembly, technicians are literally “hands-on” throughout the repair process. On the other hand, we are frequently asked to give assistance without seeing, hearing or touching the vehicle in question. 
      In Australia and Asia, our job title is often advertised as “parts interpreter,” which is a pretty accurate description of what we do daily. We translate a foreign language for people who might not otherwise understand the information in front of their eyes. In order to perform our function as interpreters, we must be able to mentally perform a “virtual repair,” confirming that the correct diagnostic procedures have been carried out, that we are providing all of the necessary components and supplies to repair the vehicle, and then analyze the results to determine if our interpretation has been successful. 
      More than just cataloging and identifying parts or selecting boxes from a shelf, the best parts specialists have the knowledge of how these parts coexist within the systems that they are a part of. An understanding of the methods used to test and troubleshoot components is critical when determining what your customer has done (or not done) to arrive at their “diagnosis,” and to help guide them through the appropriate steps to correct any further issues they may have. In those cases when we do have the luxury of seeing the problem firsthand, using visual and audio clues along with our own knowledge of how the affected parts tend to fail gives us yet another opportunity to recommend the most appropriate solution for our customer. On those occasions when the diagnosis doesn’t match the parts request, this approach also helps us to prevent comebacks and “alleged defective” returns.
      It’s often said that “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.” Looking back on my career behind the counter, I’m still not entirely convinced that’s true, but now I know that some questions are more important than others. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take you 30 years to figure out which ones those are, and that you aren’t afraid to keep asking until you do!
