The path to Auto Dealer licensure begins with this required two day course preparation for the DMV dealer-operator qualification test.  Existing dealerships can also benefit from this valuable information. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE DEALERS WHO PLAN TO OPEN A NEW DEALERSHIP AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2005

Beginning January 1, 2006, the dealer-operator of any new independent motor vehicle dealership will be required to successfully complete a course of study before they will be allowed to take the dealer-operator qualification test at any DMV Customer Service Center.
