Automotive Finance Management - Online

Finance & Insurance Management and Sales Management positions offer the most challenging and rewarding careers in the retail automotive industry today. Both require a mastery of customer service techniques, a thorough understanding of legal compliance, and, in the case of F&I, the ability to analyze credit and structure successful deals. Whether you're just beginning in F&I or looking to refresh your management skills, the Automotive Dealership Institute's Online Automotive Finance and Management training program can give you the edge you need to succeed.

ADI's online program is designed to maximize profit with an emphasis on maintaining the highest CSI with complete disclosures.

The program consists of three sections:
1 – Finance and Insurance – Prime,
2 – Laws, Rules and Regulations,
3 – F&I Menu-Presentation Process/Objection Handling and Conversions

Students wanting greater interaction throughout the course can opt for the "hybrid" diploma program, which consists of three online sections and an additional week of in-class instruction. This section features the non-prime market and non-prime lending and is held at ADI's beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona, campus.
