Worth every dollar, this course teaches you everything you need to know from start to finish on how to be an F&I Manager in the automotive industry. It is a lot of information and time but worth it IF YOU ARE SERIOUS. I did weeks of research and debating and can honestly say I am impressed. The staff have been F&I Managers, and they know what they are talking about and how to teach others. They are there for you after graduation as well. If you are considering this course, hear it from me, you should take this course.

I really enjoyed the class. As someone that has spent 25 years in Corporate IT, Fortune 500 companies, this was better organized and had a purpose that was specific to preparing us for an F&I role. The course includes great materials that are provided before class begins and you use every inch of detail they provide. At all times, you are treated as a responsible adult resulting in a professional atmosphere. Additionally, ADI provides access to many of the F&I software applications and tools has helped me maintain a belief that I am ready for the next steps. Special thanks to everyone at ADI that assisted!
Francisco Gonzalez
Top notch facility in a great location. The staff is very knowledgeable and made you feel welcome from day 1. The course is very hands-on, interactive and covers the entire car sales process, reading lender guidelines to qualify the transaction and most importantly overcoming customer concerns/objections. The real-world scenarios provided great insight as it relates to the dealership.
Joe Thomas
The course information by ADI was extremely thorough! The presentations were great, and we had opportunities to ask questions and discuss real life examples. Discovering everything in detail from reading credit reports, presenting F&I Products, desking deals, and learning the full F&I Presentation has been very enjoyable. The staff at ADI is phenomenal, always available to answer all my questions. I am incredibly excited to start the next chapter in my life as this program has given me the tools and confidence to start my career as an F&I Manager. Thank you to all of you at ADI!
Julian Wit
I would like to express my most upfront gratitude to the entire ADI staff. I have nothing to say but positive things about the experience and knowledge I gained in the last 4 weeks. I have been in the auto industry for over 6 years, being top in sales providing exceptional customer service and never was I offered the opportunity to move into F&I. Making the decision to attend ADI was the best thing I could have done for myself and family. I feel ADI prepared me to further advance my career.
Marc Caulder
I had a great experience the last 4 weeks. The program far exceeded my expectations. The entire staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. My advice is to be a sponge as the course requires you to pay attention. If you don’t study and practice it will show. You must commit 100%. I am excited to apply what I’ve learned and to work in F&I!
Marykathryn Mejia
Educational and invaluable training as the curriculum is perfect and the textbook and binder provide applicable challenging exercises and examples well related to the F&I Manager role. I would describe this course as tough, challenging and life changing. The instructor and staff are the best possible.

The entire staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the course. We covered more material than I thought was possible in 4 weeks, but the pace was never overwhelming.

I feel ready to be part of a team right away and I am confident in my chance of success due to the course and amazing team here at ADI. Thank you all!

I was a little hesitant on signing up for the class due to the cost. However, I started comparing what is offered in lesser priced programs, ADI blew everyone out of the water. Especially with their placement success rate. The entire staff was very hospitable and helpful. After being in the business for 20 years and the training I received, I am confident in my abilities as a Finance Manager and can continue my career as a well-trained Finance Manager. Thank you so much to all the ADI staff. You are all an outstanding team, and I am happy that I made one of the best decisions of my life.

Tanner Love
Automotive Dealership Institute, which awards a Diploma in F&I upon completion, is amazing from beginning to end. Hang on to your bootstraps because you’re about to get way more than you bargained for. Some of the students in my class had zero experience in the car business and some had extensive experience. We all had differing backgrounds and objectives as far as what we wanted to accomplish and why we were there. However, the one thing we all had in common was that we all wanted to give ourselves the opportunity to be successful in the Finance and Insurance field. Let me tell you, THEY DELIVERED!
Jacob Belcourt
This course is worth the investment, time and financially wise. ADI will teach you everything you need to know and much more. As someone who has little experience in the auto industry, I’ve learned so much on this short and very packed course. You’re given all the tools to succeed. ADI is always there to assist even after graduation.
Albert Trevino
Excellent education model if you are looking to take your career to the next level in F&I Management. A fully comprehensive curriculum which in the beginning I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep up. Thankfully, I was wrong! I want to thank the staff for their professionalism and profound way of guiding us all toward the industry. Well done!
Carrie Cassens-Johnson

The course and instruction went above and beyond my expectations. At first, I was a bit skeptical but I quicky saw this program as giving me the necessary skills required to be competent for the finance position and how to interview. I am beyond happy and grateful for all that I learned, and the support provided by ADI even after graduation. You are all wonderful. Thank you for sharing your skills and experiences.

This is an exceptional course; be prepared to practice and study both in the classroom and in your personal time to prepare yourself for a rewarding career. The training went beyond my expectations and so did the staff!
Tyler Burnett
I thought it was a fantastic course overall. I really enjoyed learning about F&I from A to Z. Whether it was Prime, Subprime, Laws & Regulations, Sales Desk Training, or Objection Handling, every lesson was explained in full detail with experiences and stories to tie it to real life application. I really appreciated all the informative discussions about the industry with other classmates and the ADI staff as they provided some amazing insight from their experiences. I look forward to applying the knowledge and skills I have acquired during this course to better serve my future customers and the automotive teams I may lead. I am also thankful they can accept the GI Bill to help Veterans succeed in this industry.
Fhyllis S.
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Upon researching the automotive industry as an option, the demand, income potential, coupled with your training at ADI (and payment arrangement) … jumping in was truly a no-brainer. In reviewing your curriculum, it was easy to see (with my training background), how ADI could help someone like me with some sales and relevant business skills, transition (even without automotive industry experience) to F&I within a short period of time.
Besides the pace, thoroughness, and organized structure of the content, what has really blown my mind is the care and commitment of the ADI staff. ‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem enough. I am truly grateful and promise to make you proud. God bless you.

Gary Freeman
The course was fast paced and very informative! I learned so much in such a short period of time. The instructor did not miss a beat on making sure you knew exactly what you were doing before you moved on. 10/10! I am now very confident I can walk on to an F&I position and do great things. You must attend!
Richard Dennery
The instructors did a phenomenal job presenting the information and building the foundation necessary for a solid start, helped us understand all the concepts and gave us the confidence needed for success. The course was very informative, detailed, and helpful. Thank you to all at ADI!
Stephen Babu
I was very hesitant in taking this course after finding about it online. Once I arrived, I noticed the staff was professional, friendly, and always happy to assist with anything I needed. All the materials are exceptionally well organized and presented in the same manner. I am very much satisfied with the program and happy I chose ADI to advance my career in Automotive Finance Management. I would highly recommend ADI to those that want to take their career to the next level.
Emanuel Simms
It is a great and intensive program. For 4 weeks we were granted the privilege of learning automotive loan financing and how to properly structure deals, credit report analysis and legal compliance. Be eager to learn and work hard. I would recommend ADI to those who desire to enhance their career opportunities.
Adam Farias
ADI’s 30-day course in F&I Management was very intense and informative. I wouldn't have thought I was able to do as much as I did in a 30-day time span. Their staff is very well versed in all aspects of the auto industry allowing a deeper understanding of learning from real world experiences. ADI has Finance Management Training down to a tee. You will be challenged and worth it if you’re willing to put the time in to learn.
William Ross
This course is phenomenal, but course I have ever taken. The facility is awesome as well as the entire staff. Everyone is so warm, welcoming, helpful, and patient. The guidance I received from career services about resume building, interviewing and how to dress is invaluable. This is the best investment that I have ever made and would recommend this school to any and everyone.
Wesley Davis
I thought I knew a lot before attending this class. I knew a little, however I learned more than I every thought possible. I feel more confident to hold an F&I position and thanks to ADI I already have several Finance Directors that would like to meet to discuss future employment opportunities. I recommend ADI to anyone considering this course to take a chance. The classroom environment was fantastic and energetic. The curriculum although intensive, well put together, and professional making this a wonderful learning experience.
Vladimir Restrepo
Absolutely love the course and think it was very thoroughly designed to make us very knowledgeable as F&I Managers. A very complete program that sets us up to be the very best possible F&I Managers in the industry. The training material is highly advanced, and ADI clearly set the standard in F&I training. My favorite parts of the program are the great instructors and staff!
Dieauka Bradley
This program was beyond what I expected from my other online classes I have had experiences with. From day one I knew I was going to be ready for a Finance Manager position upon completion. The course goes deep into the finance aspect, laws, rules and regulations, and practice structuring deals, both leasing, prime and subprime. The ADI staff is amazing, patient and very knowledgeable on all aspects of financial management. This experience was awesome, and I recommend this to everyone looking to go to the next level in their career. The care in this course in preparing you for your future went beyond my expectations. The career development workshop sets you up for success by having the tools necessary for job interviews. My experience is truly worth the investment.
Derrick Hoskins
First, I’d like to thank the entire staff for your knowledge, patience, and time for the training I’ve received. This has been one of the most challenging courses I’ve ever taken, which make it one of the most rewarding accomplishments as well. As others before me, I’m positive the phrase “they wish they had done this years ago” holds to be true! Everything that’s needed to be successful in the business was covered. Prepare yourself for the life changing confidence you will receive.
Kimberly Henry
I never in a million years thought that in 4 short weeks I would have as much knowledge that I do now on the dealership side of lending. Being a Loan Officer for a lender I had an awareness of what I needed but with the help of ADI I feel like I am prepared to enter and succeed in a dealership. The curriculum was well put together, organized, and impressive knowledge shared. If you are willing to put in the work, the material is there for you to succeed.
Randy C.
All around stellar course. I could not imagine being this prepared for career in finance. The material, the interactions with the instructors, the curriculum, and my classmates this course blew away all my expectations. I have never felt more welcomed in a learning environment. Learning to calculate all deals by hand was very impressive. The entire staff aids every step of the way. You will get out of this course what you put into it. Be ready to give it your all.
Joe J.
I really enjoyed the course. I now have the information I need to succeed when the F&I opportunity arrives. Desk and deal structuring where the best parts of the program. The staff is very supportive, patient, and willing to help. They always have positive energy! The course is very informative and detailed. You won’t leave wondering if something was left out or if you will face something unfamiliar. You get exposed to everything.
Ashley H.
I really enjoyed the course. The staff are all extremely professional and make it easy to understand all the material. They were able to provide so many different examples of situations that we may encounter in the real world that I feel extremely comfortable walking into a dealership ready to go. My experience with everyone at ADI has been amazing. From the beginning me reaching out to them, working with my military benefits, to the staff working with me to ensure my success, everyone has gone above and beyond anything I ever expected. I would describe it as a great way to fill in the gaps if you have experience and an excellent base if you are new to the industry.
Tom B.
Overall, great! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the experience transfers to the classroom well. I liked and encouraged the use of their personal scenarios throughout the course. I appreciated conducting the course virtually, personally it would have been difficult to travel to Arizona to take the class. Great job by all. Really appreciated the help and encouragement from all the staff.
Shaq C.

McSeano A.
Wow! This is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the F&I Management course at ADI. It seems like yesterday we were discussing the syllabus and now we have graduated. ADI teaches everything there is to know about the F&I position from deal structuring and legal compliance to interviewing and how to present products. This is an invaluable course, especially for someone like me without any prior industry experience. I have graduated from the program extremely confident that I will be able to step into a F&I position and perform at a high level. While the class moves quickly, the staff ensures every student has a keen understanding of the materials before moving forward. Beyond that, they are fun and personable individuals that have extensive knowledge of the industry and who genuinely care about the well-being of the students they are teaching. I am profoundly grateful for this experience.
Kevin M.
The four-week course is perfect. I personally could not be happier with the overall experience and would highly recommend it to anyone that is ready to put in the work to become a F&I Manager. Great people to work with, I am incredibly happy I chose to invest in my future and cannot imagine going into finance management without this course. Best decision I have ever made for my career!
Jazper J.
The course was highly informative, providing me the tools needed to become a successful F&I Manager. The staff is deeply knowledgeable and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Learning to read and understand credit reports was most beneficial for me. The assistance provided by the staff at ADI was perfect. The course is highly beneficial, and you will learn everything you need to become a F&I Manager.
Emily G.
I just cannot say enough about how impactful the F&I class is at ADI. I was hesitant about an intensive four-week class all online. The class far exceeded all my expectations. The instructors were engaging and deeply knowledgeable about the auto industry as everyone has real world experience to share. Very interactive and excellent mix of activities that are both interactive and engaging. The time just flew by, and I was excited for each new day!
Robert C.
This had been the most informative, detailed and well put together finance course that I have ever been involved in. It has truly been a treasure trove of practical, easy to use plans for presenting finance & insurance products and legal paperwork. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all forms of the automotive financial transactions involving contracts, structuring deals and overcoming objections. The facilities and workbooks are top of the line. Due to the pandemic restrictions the online live virtual classes are very professional and cover every aspect of the business, well worth the investment. I have now begun my career as a F&I Manager with a local Kia dealership.
Ron S.
This is an outstanding, educational course. Good even though I have limited car dealership experience. I enjoyed working on the actual dealership software to structure and work deals, allowing me to learn the requirements and limitations of each deal. The instructor was great throughout the course. This is a great program even for those who have never worked in automotive sales.
Ruqiya K.
ADI was the best decision I made to grow my career in the automotive industry and the instructors made it such a pleasant experience. My brothers both attended ADI and today are highly successful Finance & Insurance Managers thanks to ADI. The instructors are very patient with every student. To anyone considering enrolling at ADI, do it ASAP.
Jesse M.
Fantastic! I’m so glad I was able to take time off work to be able to gain the knowledge of the role of a Finance & Insurance Manager. My confidence is at an all time high due to the vast amount of knowledge we learned at ADI.

George N.
The course was extremely thorough, going through the day-to-day steps of the Finance & Insurance Manager’s role and covering how dealerships operate. This is extremely helpful for those with no experience or out of the industry for an extended period. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and instructors at ADI. They treat everyone like family and with respect. I must also applaud the instructor’s patience because I ask a lot of questions. Never did they not stop, answer and address any questions or comments from myself or my peers. I would recommend this course to anyone inside or outside the industry who is looking to get into F&I and make a career change. It is a great class taught by great people who obviously enjoy what they do.
Mitch N.
This course was extremely informative. I had a great time learning the ins-n-outs of structuring a deal, differences between various deal types and understanding individual customer financing scenarios. I come from a prime/super-prime lending environment, being exposed and understanding how subprime lending works will allow me make deals my dealership normally does not handle. This knowledge will give me a competitive advantage over other dealership competitors while allowing me to increase my earnings. The program was fluid, quick paced with engaging content and an entertaining approach. I have nothing but positive remarks for this course, the staff and instructors at ADI.
James B.
The program offered at the Automotive Dealership Institute covers every aspect of the Finance & Insurance Manager’s role. There is not one aspect of what I learned that is irrelevant or does not apply to the real-world automotive dealership environment. The instructor was great to stop if anyone needed to clarify and understand what we were learning before proceeding. After completing the course, I am confident in having immediate success in my role as a F&I manager. This course taught me everything I was expecting and more.
James C.
This is the best program I have taken for my career working in the automotive industry. All the staff at ADI is engaged in the process from admissions, course study, resume building and job placement assistance. They are available whenever needed. The course flows very smoothly step-by-step, never getting ahead of the process, helping us to successfully pass our final exam and meet our course objection. I have gained immeasurable knowledge that will help me obtain employment as a Finance & Insurance Manager and reach my financial goals. The value certainly outweighs the cost. Whether you are a beginner or have some F&I experience this course is for you. From day one the instructors cover every facet of the F&I Manager’s role including the ABC’s pf the dealership process from the ground up. This program will enhance your career in every way.

I took a big leap of faith by committing to ADI and their Finance & Insurance Management Program, I am so glad I did. From having minimal sales experience and no auto dealership experience at all I can now confidently apply for an F&I Manager position and back up what I have learned at ADI. The curriculum is well thought out, each day is planned to maximize time and information. You are taught by industry professionals that have held every position in the dealership and are able to answer any questions that you may have. You are taken out of your comfort zone and truly taught the correct way to be a F&I Manager. This is a very beneficial course, the curriculum is dialed in and ADI has it down to a science.

I felt she cared about me and my future career in this industry. This course is beneficial for anyone looking to be successful in the automotive industry as a Finance & Insurance Manager.
Adrian V.
I am impressed with all the detailed information provided in the course. The live virtual interaction with my instructor and fellow students made the all-day learning seem short. I liked how we focused on one area of study instead of compiling so much information into each day, this made it easier to comprehend each portion of the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the industry and appreciate all the hard work the instructor have placed in building this curriculum. This is a much needed course to be a successful Finance & Insurance Manager.
Timothy M.
I would describe it as very focused on everything needed to perform successfully in the F&I role. I would say there is great discipline and a very structured class.

A+++++ program! 110% worth the investment for your future!
Nicholas Marshall
Given the current situation with the virus I think you have adapted quite well. That being said, I am a huge advocate for in person learning, especially with a job like this where talking and interacting with people is a must. But this is the next best thing and the curriculum itself is great. It is an accelerated 4 week course and gives you a pretty solid foundation and introduction into the F&I world The entire ADI staff is top notch as well. Resumes look fantastic, help with mock interviews and job placement is priceless.
David Pearcy
Wow four weeks has come and gone! This program is awesome. I originally thought this would be nothing more than a "resume stuffer". Boy was I wrong. The curriculum expanded on my knowledge and set me up to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. ADI does an amazing job teaching students individually through ZOOM none the less. The value of this program far exceeds the cost. Thanks again for everything. If anyone is considering this program, STOP, and sign up today! You will NOT regret it!
Victor Arcedera
Intense, exciting, challenging, very well structured and executed and you reap what you put into the course. The instructor ensured that all students fully understand each subject as stated in the curriculum. The exceptional professionalism of the entire staff made the whole process well worth the investment.
Crystal Thompson
The course was amazing! If you want the best, there is no time for the rest. The knowledge you will gain from this organization is astonishing and extremely detailed. It is not easy and you will put in a lot of hard work studying but the end result is worth it. The staff are incredible. They are always here to assist with anything you need. All of them are very encouraging and great mentors.
Douglas Kitchen
I was totally nervous about the virtual classroom learning before I started. I wasn’t sure that it would be effective for me even during the first few days. But now after reaching the end I feel very well equipped to take this next step into an F&I role. Every day I left class with more knowledge and understanding that I didn’t have before. Cheryl and the entire ADI staff were the most helpful. This was so much more than I thought it would be and probably the best investment that I will ever make for myself. I am eternally grateful for everything!
Thomas Rocha
The course material was very comprehensive and presented at a good pace throughout the time frame. The course instructor was first rate, with a grasp of the material and the ability to impart that knowledge patiently and fully, using real world examples and experience. The entire cadre was professional, welcoming and friendly. ADI has done a laudable job transitioning the course to virtual and technical challenges were handled well. A must if you want to advance your automotive career. I wish I had done it years ago; money well spent.

I loved the course and the instructor kept me engaged in learning throughout the course.

The things I enjoyed the most was working with real F&I software and learning how to structure prime and subprime deals. The whole process was fun and engaging. Great class!
Justin Krutsinger
This course was amazing! The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and this class gives you all the tools needed to understand and prepare to perform F&I duties.

This course has exceeded my expectations as it is designed perfectly. I am in shock how much I learned from day one to week to the final day. I went from limited knowledge to feeling like I have been in the car business forever. I will miss everyone from the staff and my fellow students and the experiences we shared. My confidence level is through the roof and definitely worth the investment. I will recommend this course to everyone who is interested in automotive finance. Thank you so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Automotive Dealership Institute. Everyone has been extremely professional and courteous. The course is very comprehensive and I learned more than I thought there was to know about the car business! My only regret is not being able to attend in person which is no fault of the school, but rather the circumstances and epidemic that’s changed the way we interact with each other. ADI has done a great job of integrating technology and new software to create a learning environment that I feel anyone could be successful in if they apply themselves.
Geoff Pate
I am extremely satisfied with the education that I have received from ADI. Everything from the teaching and administrative stuff to the materials and content of the course, exceeded my expectations. I was a bit worried about attending the class on Zoom, but those concerns were quickly replaced with confidence in the course. Overall I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to further expand their understanding of auto finance.

Finance & Insurance Management course is an intense four (4) week, nine (9) hour a day Monday to Friday. This covers all the processes and procedures of the Automotive Finance department. The curriculum includes Prime and Sub Prime lending, credit analysis, leasing, desking. It also teaches how to structure deals, budget payments for customers, also explains about the Regulation M, Regulation Z and Regulation B. The management is very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. The environment is very clean and attractive. I would recommend everyone. It is worth every penny spent you spend.

When I first heard that the class was going to be held virtually I was a little concerned about the effectiveness and how much I was going to get out of it. Boy was I wrong! I couldn't speak more highly of the dedicated team at ADI! My only regret is that I hadn't committed to this course years ago! It was worth every penny, seriously!
Nicole Bradley
Where should I begin? .... I started looking to further my education in the car business a few years ago. I wasn't sure where to even look but I knew that I wanted to be in Finance. ADI was suggested to me by a coworker who had previously taken the class, he was adamant to choose ADI to help me achieve my goals. I sought information mid year of 2019 and Cheryl was very informative and helpful. I was hesitant because of the cost and that made me rethink things. March 2020 after dragging my feet for a while I decided to take a look on their website and to my surprise they were offering a virtual class! I immediately decided to take the opportunity, and the rest is history! I am a part of the first virtual class offered at ADI in April 2020. Cheryl, LaTara, Arzu, and the whole ADI team are amazing. I had a wonderful time learning in such an inviting environment. I am now fully equipped to take on all aspects of Automotive Finance. Thank you again ADI!
Alan Stephens
Outstanding. Cheryl is on of the best presenters and content instructors I’ve seen. The course and supporting material along with the functional hands-on exercises truly supports the material being covered and presented by Cheryl. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a firm handle on the automotive industry and its constantly changing environment. Being the first virtual guided course presented by ADI displays the commitment that ADI and its wonderful staff has to the betterment of the automotive industry, especially the F&I component of the vehicle purchasing process. I believe the well organized curriculum along with the supporting exercises delivered in the logical order of progression honestly brings the understand, processing, and application of the F&I Manager’s responsibilities to him/herself, the organization and the Finance Department.

Jacob K.
While the course was extensive, it far exceeded my expectations! The instructor was fantastic, I feel that this was the best improvement I’ve made in myself. It was very informative in all aspects of the car business. Extremely extensive but very worth it. This is not your everyday Product School. Everything about the car business is covered in detail. I was very pleased not only in the education but how I was treated by everyone at the school. Everyone was absolutely wonderful and was essential in preparing me for a successful interview process. I want to thank everyone at the school for a great experience. I am going to miss ADI! F&I Manager/Sales Manager – Kia dealership in Greenville, SC

Greatest decision I’ve made! This course will teach you to fish not feed you once. The instructor is patient, authentic and passionate about the students. In detail you will be prepared for a lifetime of F&I knowledge. Best decision you can ever make. I bounced around for three years and finally came. My only regret was not coming sooner. Thank you!

I was actually very surprised and pleased with the amount of information that we received the minute we started. I was so happy that our instructor was actually a former Finance Manager and had actually walked the walk. She really does have the knowledge that I was looking for. This was an in-depth course on everything you need to get started and excel in automotive finance. I am truly grateful for everything I will take from this experience.

It took me a while to make a final decision on taking the course in a classroom setting. I was initially thinking about an online program, but thought I would gain more out of an actual classroom. After serious thought, especially financially, I decided to make the investment. No regrets! I wished I made the decision a lot sooner. The course teaches you top to bottom dealership operations from meet and greet, desking deals, lender approvals, selling F&I products, objection handling, and closing deals. In addition to the 6 years I have in the auto lending industry, I can definitely transfer the skills learned at ADI to the dealership retail side of business. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into the Automotive Industry! Sales Manager/F&I Manager – Independent dealership in Corpus Christi, TX
Charles R.
The class size was perfect, a good pace/flow, a more personal feeling of a smaller group, and felt you were getting the individual attention on the daily. All-in-all there is so much you can try and pack into one month’s time to prepare an individual for a new career. This course definitely accomplished preparing me for the next stage of my career. This was done at a reasonable pace and a good learning curve. Well worth the investment! F&I Manager – Ford dealership in New Bedford, MA
Steven J.
I absolutely loved the class and the instructor was great! This class gets you ready for so much more than just finance it makes you think on such a larger scale and see things as an owner of a store. At least that’s what I took from it. Excellent class and well taught, you will learn a lot. Thank you for everything. Sales Manager – Toyota dealership in Corvallis – OR
Melissa D.
I loved this experience! It was very eye-opening as a newcomer to this industry. I feel that what we learned is not only relevant (especially with the articles to back up why the things we were going over meant that it’s the right way), but current as well. It’s a 4-week course that goes over all details on how car financing works. I wholly appreciate this opportunity and feel that ADI is going to be with me every step of the way.

Michael L.
Very impressed with the facility and the instruction. Every staff member plays a key component within this school.

F&I Manager – Independent dealership in Lombard, IL
Johnny W.
This course was such a blessing. I don’t see how it would be possible to cover all that information or receive individualized attention from the instructor in a work place environment. Taking this risk, making this investment has already paid off. Thank you ADI. F&I Manager – Toyota dealership in Corvallis – OR
Mike N.
The course was everything I expected and more. The entire staff; human resources, academics, and administration are a “Class” Act. Professionalism would be an understatement! Would recommend anyone with any amount of ambition in their automotive careers to stop considering it, take action, call the Automotive Dealership Institute here in Scottsdale, AZ and don’t look back! It will be the best decision you could make regarding your career and I am going to recommend it to everyone! Students are absolutely and unequivocally prepared for the industry. The sacrifices will result in success! Thank you ADI for everything! F&I Manager – RV dealership in Las Cruces, TX

What I liked most about the course was the fact that I felt free to learn. I never felt as if I was less than for not knowing the course work as it was presented to me.

I would tell everybody that the course was detailed, organized, and professional. Also, they will be ready to be a finance manager after the course. F&I Manager – Nissan dealership in Atlanta, GA

It’s the mothership of F&I! At the end of the course, I have seen students become more equipped and more knowledgeable than the majority of F&I managers I have worked with in the past three years. The content covered is vast and covering it in just four weeks is extensive and exhausting but this is how ADI is setting high bench mark in the industry! I am very happy working at Acura dealership in Laurel, MD and putting my training and knowledge from ADI to use as an F&I Manager.
Michael B.
Michael B. I couldn’t have asked for a better class or staff. Having classmates that are just as engaged as you are really makes for a better learning environment. Having instructors with such in depth knowledge about the field and all of the firsthand experience also translates very well in the classroom. I would recommend this course to anyone that is even considering this field as a career and for those already in the field this school will take your career to the next level. It is life changing experience that will open more doors for your future than you ever expected. Michael is working at Total Automotive Solutions and serving dealerships in the New Jersey area.
