National Express Corporation Honors ASE Master Technicians
National Express Corporation, a leader in student transportation, is proud to honor 15 employees who were certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) as master technicians. A dinner was held Feb. 5 celebrating the employees for achieving their certification.
“We are proud to recognize our master technicians who showcase our commitment to safety every day through their work,” said David A.

ASE is an independent, non-profit organization that works to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying repair and service professionals. To become a certified ASE master technician requires months of studying and passing six main parts to the test. To remain certified the technicians must take and pass a recertification test every five years. Currently, there are 1,483 master school bus technicians in the United States.
