In today’s automotive market, it is important to become an ISA Certified Automotive Service Specialist (ASP). There are many benefits to becoming certified as an ISA. One of the most appreciated benefit is the ability to work in a variety of capacities within the industry. Having the knowledge and skills to perform specific duties will open new doors for you. This is especially true for individuals who have spent years working in the industry but who now seek to re-enter into the workforce full time and take their skills and abilities to the next level.

There are several ways to attain an ISA certificate and each of these carries different costs. The cost of becoming certified as an ISA engineer is usually covered by the insurance provider, although this may vary. In addition, there are additional costs associated with obtaining your CMT or CQE certification as well.

In most cases, the cost of becoming certified as an ISA is covered by the insurance provider. However, in order to gain QMS (Quantified Management Information System) certification, the costs for application fees, training materials and testing are paid by the applicant. Once these costs are paid, a final exam fee of about $150 is deducted from the applicant’s final application fee. To be eligible to take the final exam, applicants must already have completed all the necessary training requirements to apply for CMA test.

In order to get QMS certification, you will need to pay an application fee of about $150. The application fee covers the cost of having a certificate number and the cost of the testing lab fees. There are typically three components to the total cost of becoming an ISA safety professional. There is a one-time application fee, maintenance on an application fee and an exam fee. If you are planning to pursue additional certifications after the ISA certification, these costs are generally waived.

As previously stated, the application fee covers the cost of obtaining your initial CMA certification. It also covers the cost of testing, applicable maintenance on application fee and any applicable technical information fees. These costs are charged for each test and certificate level and can be separate from the CMA certification fee. It is possible, however, to have all three aspects of CMA certification processed at the same time. If you select the “all three” option, you will pay the CMA exam fee and then the application fee, test cost, maintenance fee and any other applicable charges, once you have passed all three exams.

A senior professional certification exam fee is based on the number of years (lifetime) that you plan to be a certified automotive technician. In most cases, the exam fee includes the test prep cost as well as the cost of receiving the actual certification. Most ISA certified dealerships require their technicians to pass the CMA exam within two years of beginning employment with them, which is usually the case for automotive technicians with more than five years of experience. An ISA certification card is good for two years; after two years, it becomes invalid and you must start all over again with a new application.

There are four levels of ISA certification. Associate, Bachelor and Master are the highest levels of certification. The certification examinations are generally taken by automotive technicians who have at least five years of experience. Some associates receive their certifications while still working in the profession; others complete their training after being laid off. To qualify for an associate certification, the applicant must have at least a year of work experience as a licensed professional.

Applicants can take the exam fee through the Internet. The exam fee costs vary, depending on the particular course the person enrolls in and the type of certificate they are applying for. Online courses are usually cheaper, especially when compared to the fees of traditional colleges and universities. It is important to understand, though, that not all ISA certification courses are created equal. Some of these colleges and universities have earned their reputation from offering high quality programs and services to their clients; while other ISA certification programs were actually set up only to gain more certification fees from the examiners.
