Description

The Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association (VIADA) presents the two-day course at locations throughout the state and is taught by former dealers who have over 40+ years of experience combined.

• The course takes the attendee from establishing the dealership under local zoning and Dealer Board requirements, through the sales process with its multitude of forms, laws and regulations, in to a sampling of opening and operating expenses, and ending with a discussion on ethics.
• The course is open to all existing dealers and their employees.

A minimum of 10 students is required for any class. Due to room sizes at various hotels, some classes are limited to 25 students with a maximum of 50 at those with larger facilities. Be sure to register early to insure you get the location you prefer.

Class begins each day at 8:00 a.m. and ends each day at 5:00 p.m.  If you arrive after 8:15 AM you will not be allowed in - you will have to reschedule.  Please plan accordingly.  Students receive one hour for lunch each day with several venues located nearby.

The course test is given at the end of instruction on the second day.  You MUST pass this test with a grade of 80% BEFORE taking the final exam at a DMV Customer Service Center.  Those who do not pass will be required to retake the course at their expense at a future time.
