Dubbed the NADA Professional Series, it has proven to be the most efficient and affordable way to offer this best-in-class training to dealership managers without having to fly to other parts of the country and spend extra nights in hotels. The Series covers all critical areas of running a dealership, including Office Management, Parts Management, Sales Management, and Service Management. With the success of the inaugural classes, the IADA plans to continue hosting the series at the IADA office in the future. If you have any questions about entrance requirements or content, feel free to contact the IADA or scan the QR Code for more information.
