Autel Academy ADAS Training Program receives ASE and I-CAR accreditation
The Autel Academy ADAS Training Program has officially received accreditation from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR).
The ASE and I-CAR accreditation confirms that Autel's instructor-led training program meets the requirements for technician training and development as defined by these organizations.
First launched in 2013, the ADAS calibration program combines structured classroom instruction with hands-on experience in Autel's dedicated training bay, allowing technicians to work directly with ADAS calibration equipment and real-world vehicle scenarios. In the classroom, technicians can expect to gain a foundational understanding of ADAS theory, including system architecture, sensory types, OEM calibration requirements, and workflow best practices. The program aslo emphasizes diagnostic strategy and troubleshooting, equipping technicians to identify and resolve common calibration issues. Autel has expanded its training footprint to additional locations including Detroit, St. Louis, California, and Florida.
Additionally, Autel will introduce a third day of training to its current two-day course. This additional day will include a technician certification assessment, enabling participants to demonstrate mastery of the curriculum. Successful completion will provide technicians with ASE and I-CAR continuing education credits.

significance of the accreditation process, noting that it delivers meaningful value for both training providers and the industry. “Accreditation provides training organizations with recognized credibility, ensures their curriculum aligns with current industry standards, and verifies that they are maintaining high-quality instruction, facilities, and resources,” said Shepanek. “Autel successfully met all of these criteria, and we are pleased to recognize them as an ASE-accredited training provider.”
“We are proud to have our ADAS Training Program recognized by ASE,” said Chris Gutierrez, Product and Training Director – ADAS, Autel North America. “This accreditation validates the depth and quality of our curriculum and our hands-on approach. Our goal is to ensure technicians leave our program well prepared to perform accurate ADAS calibrations with confidence and consistency in real-world shop environments."
