Have management that need some training?

Need Training?

If you’re a dealership management team and want to improve business…listen up. The NADA is accepting applications for NADA Academy plus…a new cost-effective program that helps with training your dealership management team.

It’s a 12-month period that includes six instructor-led weeks of education. Each week focuses on a specific department discipline, including financial management, parts, service, pre-owned vehicle sales, new-vehicle sales and business leadership.

Jim Schoonover (Senior Director of Education and Consulting for NADA Dealership Operations) says “NADA Academy Plus is a rapid, fast-track program designed to align industry best practices with a dealership’s vision, goals and objectives.” He adds…”It’s unique in that it encompasses all of NADA’s educational and consulting offerings in one program.”

It is the first program of its kind. Enrollment includes the industry-leading academy curriculum plus extensive integration of the NADA 20 Group composite, an in-dealership consultation facilitated by the NADA 20 Group and a NADA University online premium subscription for all employees at the dealership. Applications are being accepted now. The first class begins in October of this year.
