Dear CTE Administrators and NATEF Instructors,

We wanted to give you an update on the progress of the new NATEF Automobile accreditation model. The standards workshop was held March 20-22 at the ASE Headquarters in Leesburg, VA. The 17 workshop participants represented secondary programs, post-secondary programs, shop owners, OE-automotive manufacturers and aftermarket industry members. The group reviewed the task list, instructor qualifications, program hours and the tools and equipment list. You can review the accreditation program outline by following the link shown in red below.

The next step is to have the NATEF Board of Trustees and the ASE Board of Directors approve this accreditation model. The boards will be meeting May 12, 2012. As soon as possible after this, we will post the program specifics on the NATEF website and will be communicating with you.

We understand that this is a huge shift for programs and you are awaiting all the details. We want to reassure you that NATEF’s goal is program improvement and that we want to work with you to achieve that goal. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Thank you for your patience and your support of NATEF.

Trish Serratore President NATEF  tserratore@natef.org 703-669-6633
