xEV Technician Electrical Safety Certification (Level 2)

ASE Level 2 high-voltage vehicle technician electrical safety certification, with an online examination and a downloadable certificate upon passing.

Licensing authority: National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence · Application information

Initial by examination
xEV Technician Electrical Safety Certification (Level 2)
Applicability
Current official program page links the Level TWO Version 2.1 standards updated January 14, 2025. That document revision is not asserted as the route, credential or examination effective date; unpublished boundaries remain null.
Award
A downloadable/printable certificate is available upon passing; the current program states five-year certification validity. No numeric passing threshold is asserted.
Population
Service professionals, technicians or specialists with high-voltage electrical training, demonstrated construction/operation/repair knowledge and skills, safe-working-area practice, required PPE and safety training to identify hazards and reduce risk.
Registration
Register and log in at https://ase.netexam.com/, purchase the selected xEV test, then take it online; employer vouchers are another purchase mechanism for the same test. Purchase expires after 90 days and is non-refundable; the 60-minute timer runs continuously.
Scope boundary
Only the current English Level 2 knowledge examination is included. The sources distinguish Level 1 role knowledge from this certification test; no separate Level 1 certification test, L-series prerequisite or Prometric appointment is inserted into the published dedicated xEV purchase-and-test route.
Training and employer proficiency
Retain the Level TWO standards' C2 requirement to demonstrate Level ONE skills to the employer, C2.1 employment requalification and C2.2 evaluation for the actual xEV systems worked on; C4 requires employer verification of safe test-equipment and OEM work skills. C4.1 emergency response training and C4.3 EV safety training are SHALL; C4.2 first-aid/CPR training is MAY. These are occupational training/proficiency conditions, not additional named ASE certification examinations.
