DEALER OPERATOR PRE-LICENSING COURSE

Interested in becoming a licensed independent dealer? VIADA administers the course for the MVDB. The dealer-operator of any new independent motor vehicle dealership is required to successfully complete a course of study before they are permitted to take the Independent Dealer-Operator Qualification Test at a DMV Customer Service Center. “Grandfathered” dealer-operators, title clerks and salespersons are also encouraged to take the course as regulations change regularly and the course has the most up-to-date information a prospective dealer-operator needs to know.

The Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association (VIADA) presents the two-day course at community college campuses throughout the state and is taught by former dealers who have over 40+ years of experience combined.
