CAIS Certification Program

CAIS Certification Program

What is the CAIS Certification Program?

  • It is a test that assesses how well you know, and can use, ALLDATA Repair.
  • Passing the test means you have the skills and knowledge needed to use ALLDATA Repair at a professional level and are a Certified Automotive Information Specialist.
  • The passing score for CAIS Certification is 80%. 

How does a CAIS Certification help me?

  • If you are a Shop Owner or Manager: Having your Technicians take the test helps you determine if they know how to effectively use ALLDATA Repair.
  • If you are a Technician, Service Writer or Student: Having your CAIS Certification tells your employer or prospective employer that you can use the program at a professional level.

Can anyone become certified?

  • The CAIS tests are designed for current customers using ALLDATA Repair in their shop or students enrolled in a vocational training program that uses ALLDATA Repair as part of the curriculum. 
  • You will need to enter a valid ALLDATA Account Number in order to complete the certification process and receive your CAIS patch.
