Since its inception in 1995, the Academy for Automotive Professionals has provided quality training for thousands of individuals locally and nationwide. It is recognized as one of the premier automotive sales training institutes in the nation.

The Academy has been the beginning of many great success stories in the automotive industry. Many of our students have gone on to become top producers in area dealerships.

Our Atlanta-based training facility is a tremendous benefit to our over 130 franchised new car and truck dealer members who have a continuing need for qualified personnel in their sales and service departments. To our knowledge, the Academy is the only sales/fixed operations training facility of this magnitude that is 100% owned and operated by a dealer association for its members.

The Academy’s high-tech, 40,000 square foot training facility has four large classrooms that can be used for multiple training programs. Each classroom has high-speed internet connections, ceiling-mounted projection equipment with DVD, video and surround sound capability. The fixed operations center has 16 service bays, a down-draft spray booth, frame machine and detail workshop so we can provide real-world, hands-on training to our service tech and auto body students.
