Mobile Electronics Certified Professional
www.mecp.org

MECP was developed in 1991 by 12-volt industry volunteers - installers, manufacturers, retailers and others, to allow installers to demonstrate their professionalism by passing a comprehensive written exam. MECP is the only industry supported, nationally recognized certification program for 12-volt installers.

There are three levels of MECP certification for installers: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The Bronze level, or Basic Installer certification, tests on 12-volt electronics, installation technique, shop safety and mobile electronics components. The Silver certification, which includes First Class Installer, Security Specialist and Autosound Specialist, requires technicians to have at least one year of retail installation experience. The Silver-level exam tests on advanced 12-volt electronics, autosound and security installation and troubleshooting. The Gold level, or Master Installer certification, is our most advanced exam, with fewer than 100 installers currently holding Master certification. The Master-level exam covers advanced electronics theory, advanced autosound, advanced security and advanced troubleshooting. Installers must have at least three years of retail installation experience and must have passed the Silver-level exam to take the test for the Master certification.

MECP is the only nationally recognized dealer certification program within the mobile electronics industry.

Kris Bulla has a Silver MECP certification including First Class Installer and Security Specialist.
 
       
       
 
Automotive Service Excellence
www.asecert.org

Until the early 1970's, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972.

ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.

At present there are about 415,000 professionals with current certifications. They work in every segment of the automotive service industry: car and truck dealerships, independent garages, fleets, service stations, franchises, and more.

Upon passing at least one exam and after providing proof of two years of relevant work experience, the test taker becomes ASE certified. Certification, however, is not for life. To remain certified, those with ASE credentials must be retested every five years.

Kris Bulla is ASE A6 and M6 certified.
