A majority of technicians who use scanning equipment know only 20-30% of the tool’s capabilities. Students who complete these certifications can show employers they have hands-on experience with Snap-on® diagnostic tools, which are the preferred diagnostic tools in the automotive aftermarket.

Certifications are awarded to students who attain a solid understanding of scanner controls and operation.
