The next Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Custom Wheel & Tire Specialist Exam will be held next month.
The exam "is job-related and designed to measure a candidate's real world skills," say SEMA officials. "All tests are written in a multiple choice format and are intended to deal with specialty wheel and tire installation, troubleshooting, diagnosis and/or repair."
It will be administered at more than 700 test centers nationwide. Techs who pass the exam and who meet SEMA's work experience requirement will receive credentials from SEMA that are valid for five years.
"Because certification requires job experience, study and knowledge of changing technology, it instills pride and provides providers with a key benchmarking tool to hire, reward and retain skilled employees. It also delivers a marketing edge -- a quality that's essential to making a business stronger and more competitive."
