Auto School Guide Editorial Standards
This page explains how program and career information on Auto School Guide is researched and sourced, how school listings are gathered and kept current, how Featured Partner placement differs from editorial inclusion, and how to send us a correction.
What Auto School Guide is
Auto School Guide is an independent education directory that helps prospective students explore automotive, diesel, collision repair, heavy-equipment and related technical training programs. It is not a school, an accreditor, a career counseling service or a government agency, and it does not admit, enroll or credential students.
The site publishes two kinds of pages: program guides that explain a field of training, and school and campus listings that describe where training is offered.
How program and career information is researched
Program guides are written from publicly available occupational, regulatory and credentialing information. When a page states a fact about job duties, safety requirements, credentials or licensing, we prefer sources published by government agencies, regulators and recognized credentialing organizations, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, O*NET, OSHA, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Energy, the EPA, state licensing and education agencies, and organizations including ASE, AWS, NCCER and I-CAR.
Where a claim depends on a source, we link to the specific supporting page rather than a homepage, and list the sources used near the bottom of the page. We do not publish salary figures, employment outcomes, graduation rates or credential requirements that we cannot attribute to a primary source.
How school information is gathered
School and campus listings are built from information published by the schools themselves and from details schools provide to us directly. Programs, schedules, delivery formats, tuition, admissions requirements and accreditation can change at any time, and a listing reflects what was recorded when it was last updated.
Because of this, visitors should verify tuition, admissions requirements, accreditation, credentials, schedules and current program availability directly with the school before making a decision.
Editorial inclusion versus Featured Partner placement
Schools are listed in the directory based on whether they offer training that fits the categories the site covers. Listing a school is an editorial decision and does not require a commercial relationship.
Some schools are Featured Partners. Featured Partner placement can affect where a school appears within results and how prominently it is presented, and it is identified on the page where it applies. A commercial relationship never permits unsupported editorial claims, invented outcomes or statements about a school that are not backed by the school's own published information or a primary source. Advertising terms and rates are handled privately and are not published here.
How request-information links work
Some listings include a link to request information. Submitting a request sends the details you provide to the school or its designated partner so they can contact you. Auto School Guide does not decide admissions, does not guarantee a reply, and does not guarantee enrollment, financial aid, certification or employment.
How pages are reviewed and updated
Pages are updated when we learn that information has changed, when a source we cite is revised, or when a school or reader tells us something is out of date. Program guides show the date they were last reviewed, and articles show their published date along with an updated date when the content has genuinely changed.
We do not operate on a fixed review calendar, and we do not claim a formal editorial board or a multi-step fact-checking department. Articles are published by Auto School Guide as an organization; where no individual author is named, content is attributed to the Auto School Guide Editorial Team.
How to report outdated information or request a correction
If you find information that is inaccurate or out of date — including a school listing, a program description or a cited source — email info@weboganic.com with the page address and what needs to change. Corrections to factual errors are made as soon as we can verify them.
