In addition, automotive-centric tests such as the L1 (automobile advanced engine performance specialist) and L3 (light duty hybrid/electric vehicle specialist) will also be offered in paperless format. 

"We know that time is valuable for service professionals, so by transitioning to paperless testing, we have made the L1 and L2 testing options more convenient for them," says Dave Johnson, ASE president and CEO. "Now L1 and L2 test takers can use the ProProctor remote test delivery platform as an option for recertification. Transitioning to a paperless format is just one example of how ASE works to meet the needs of its stakeholders." 

The certification test reference and composite vehicle documents for all ASE advanced level tests will be available during testing in electronic PDF only. ASE says that in-person testing is held on days, nights and weekends at more than 450 secured, proctored Prometric test centers and that ProProctor remote testing is available as an online recertification solution.
