Cordell Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I made this thread August 29th 2012, http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106279 , it was when I first became ASE Master certified. I was rather proud of myself for accomplishing something. Today I feel like bragging again. I am now 100% GM trained, (I was already working on this in 2012) see below. Unlike Mazda (of which I was also certified), or alot of other manufacturers this is where it would stop, however GM has Master Assessments in each of those catagories. A Master Assessment is a one day test, where you have 6 40 minute excersises to complete and pass in order to be a GM Master in that catagory. Pass all the assessments and you are considered a GM World Class technician. This will be the next phase in my career. Now I have only ever met 1 GM World Class technician ever. I have also met very few people who are fully GM trained. So think about that, the chances of you taking your GM car somewhere and actually getting a trained tech is slim. It's sad really. Now I have met many good techs who just don't care about it, or are too lazy. I have met others who simply claim that they "can't take tests good". I however am working at being the complete package, I'm not the best, but I have experience succesfully diagnosing and fixing everything that comes in the door at work. That's rebuilding transmissions, working on diesels, and dealing with hybrids, because those are the 3 things many techs refuse to touch. I of course do not do those exclusively but out of everyone I've worked with techs will do one or none of those. I have a good success rate with all of them, and I am very proud of myself. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1000&pictureid=8841 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1000&pictureid=8842 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiek2000 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Will your employer compensate you for being World Class? I work with 2 techs who are 100% in everything including hybrids and medium duty. They could just as easily become world class techs, but there is no more money to be made. Its just a title. I stopped at the apprentice GM training, and only have 3 ASE's. The dealership didn't want to pay me any more, so no sense wasting my time.

unfunnyryan Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have met others who simply claim that they "can't take tests good". I'll give that shit some credence in a written test, but for hands on work? lol NOPE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
