Testing & Certification Prove, Improve, Assess, Your working knowledge!

One of the major goals of the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) is to encourage technical competency and a high standard of professionalism in the automatic transmission repair industry.

In support of that goal, our objectives are:

• To identify persons who have an acceptable knowledge of the principles and practices of the profession.
• To upgrade the level of performance throughout the industry by encouraging continuous professional development.
• To serve as a yardstick for self-assessment by industry personnel.
• To award recognition to those who have demonstrated a high level of competency in the profession.

ATRA offers three categories of tests.  You may take one, two or all three of the tests.
