The Institute of Appliance Service Technicians was created to help the appliance repair industry set a standard for appliance certification. Our goal is to ensure that every appliance repair technician is trained properly in the latest diagnosing techniques. We want a safe work environment and with appliance repair, the work environment is almost always the customer's home. The stakes couldn't be higher when it comes to knowing the proper techniques when repairing appliances.

Formed in 2015, the focus has been on knowing the basic fundamentals of appliance repair.  The constant demand for appliance repair technicians require companies to high and train their technicians from the ground up.  The ASF Certification was assembled to test the user on the basic fundamentals of repairing appliances today.  

The Appliance Service Fundamentals Certification(ASF) is a multiple choice, 140 question test that covers appliance electrical theory, cooking electric, cooking gas, customer service, dishwashers, laundry, microwaves, part identification, and refrigeration.  

The test is a challenge for someone brand new to the industry and we recommend getting at least 6 months to a year of appliance repair experience before attempting this test.  This test is available online using Proctor U.
