AUTOMOTIVE
AUTO DEALER'S
TRAINING Fee: $75
All auto dealers (under the age of 65) are required to attend this training
in order to renew their license. The law requires that the person whose name
is on your auto dealer's license must attend this training, although
it would be helpful for anyone working in independent auto sales to attend.
Failure to attend and complete this six-hour requirement will result in a
revocation of your dealer license. The intent of this training is to provide
annual updates to all independent dealers on contemporary issues. At the
conclusion of this class, you will receive a certificate of completion. In
addition, the names of those who complete the class, the dealer's name,
dealership name and address, and the dealer's license number will be sent
to DMV for their database. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. This
is a self-supporting class; fee-exempt status does not apply.
