Golden West College is an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) Education Foundation (formerly NATEF,National Automotive Training Education Foundation) certified school in the area of Automotive Technology.
ASE maintains strict governance over the number of hours each class is taught, the type and quality of tools we purchase and the curriculum we teach in our classes. Our certification means that we have to teach to a very strict list of lab assignments that match industry requirements. We must also align our lab tasks with the ASE requirements for the MAST (Master Automobile Service Technology) program. And we must teach to at least 95% of these lab assignments in order to maintain certification status. This certification makes us eligible for sponsorship by automotive manufacturers and provides opportunities to receive manufacturer donations of cars and equipment.
