Automotive Dealership Institute, Inc.

After doing endless research on the internet to locate a school that specializes in Automotive Finance Management I located the Automotive Dealership Institute. Having no prior experience in a Automotive Dealership I wanted to make sure that my list of questions were answered before I made the commitment to invest 12K, travel out of state to Scottsdale, AZ and attend the school. When I called I spoke with Alan and Arzu they were very gracious in answering every single question that I had including financing the cost of the class. In addition to them I also spoke to Cheryl who helped with with enrollment. Being from out of state, they also provided me information on a local hotel, shuttle, restaurants, grocery stores, etc that I would need during my stay. It was a pain free experience. I believe they limit the class to only 12 people to have the opportunity to provide attention and assistance to everyone. My class had less than 10 people when I attended. During class they also brought in special guest speakers to discuss the Automotive Finance industry and the opportunities available. We were also introduced to Todd during class who assisted us with preparing our resumes for the job market and if we needed help locating a position in the job market he assisted us with that too, even well after graduation. It's been 2 years since I graduated ADI and with having no prior Auto Dealership experience it was a rough start to get my first position as a Finance Manager but I was able too and along the way Todd and Cheryl were there to support me through every step. I think the 12K I spent was one of the best investments that I ever made in myself and I would recommend ADI to anyone looking to start out in Automotive Finance. Most Automotive Finance Management courses are only 3 days long and they don't teach you half of what you learn here. But also keep in mind that the school can't teach you everything you need to know about this business, only real life experience can.
