Overview
This course provides learners with the opportunity to see firsthand how certified technicians perform tasks. In part 1 of this three part series, the ASE task areas addressed are A1 (Engine Repair), A7 (Air Conditioning), and P2 (Parts Specialists), as well as an overview of the ASE exams. 46 interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly.
Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage courses, provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory.
