AIGC AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING COURSE LIST & GUIDE

AIGC Junior Machenic Foundation Certificate

These essential and fundamental entry-level topics match the Junior Machenic Education Foundation guidelines to prepare you for high-volume shop tasks.

01

Automotive Fundamentals & Safety

This introductory course teaches you how a modern repair shop operates and establishes safe working habits.

  • What you learn: Personal safety, hazardous material disposal (OSHA rules), vehicle lifting/hoisting, and precision measurement tools.
  • Hands-on skills: Performing multi-point inspections, changing fluids/filters, and navigating digital service manuals.
  • ASE Entry-Level Alignment: Aligns with the G1 Maintenance and Light Repair credential.
02

Basic Electrical Systems

Modern vehicles rely heavily on computer networks, making electrical knowledge mandatory before you touch complex components.

  • What you learn: Ohm’s Law, circuit design (series and parallel), wiring diagrams, and automotive battery chemistry.
  • Hands-on skills: Using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to test voltage drops, diagnosing blown fuses, and repairing wiring harnesses.
  • ASE Entry-Level Alignment: Prepares you for the A6 Electrical/Electronic Systems test.
03

Braking Systems

Brake service is the most frequent profit-generating repair task assigned to junior technicians in entry-level shop roles.

  • What you learn: Hydraulics theory, Pascal's law, disc/drum system mechanics, and electronic Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) design.
  • Hands-on skills: Machining brake rotors/drums, replacing pads and shoes, flushing fluid, and bleeding air from brake lines.
  • ASE Entry-Level Alignment: Focuses heavily on the A5 Brakes test criteria.

Core ASE Certification Requirements

To become a certified automotive mechanic, you must pass the relevant computer-based certification exams and provide proof of 2 years of on-the-job experience (or 1 year of experience plus a 2-year automotive degree). To prepare for the exam, study the Test Specifications and Task Lists for your specific specialty.

  • Experience Requirement: Minimum of 2 years of hands-on work experience in automotive repair (or 1 year of work experience + an automotive trade school/college diploma).
  • Testing Centers: You must register and pass the multiple-choice written tests, which are administered year-round at testing centers like Prometric.
  • Recertification Framework: Certifications are valid for 5 years, requiring you to retest to stay up-to-date.

Essential Study Strategy & Requirements

  1. Follow the Official Blueprints: The ASE Study Guides serve as the primary curriculum. Each guide outlines specific systems covered and the percentage of questions each section will contain.
  2. Review the Task List: Review the exact tasks you are expected to perform in your target area. If there is a repair procedure or diagnostic tool you are unfamiliar with, prioritize studying that topic.
  3. Utilize Practice Questions: Working through sample questions is critical as it familiarizes you with the question format and diagnostic scenarios. Take advantage of resources like Tests.com or browse the Career School Now overview for a breakdown of all available exams.
