School for Finance & Insurance for the Automotive Industry…?
- 1 Comment
Hey guys I’ve been thinking about going back to the car business, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m thinking about internet sales and I’ve been looking around online and saw some "colleges" for Finance and Insurance. I saw some testimonials on some of the websites that specify them getting hired as a finance manager with little or no experience. Now my question is how much of this is true or is this another false, over exaggerated claim that a lot of businesses do to attract more customers. I have sales experience with a car dealership before and I just left because I couldn’t handle the hours and the ripping people off mindset. I guess you can say I have a conscience. But now I am ready to go back not to rip people off “as much” LOL. But I guess to see how far I can go in this business because when I left the car industry I believe I left pre maturely. Anyway, I’m looking forward to answers from people that actually know what I’m talking about. That means no stupid answers. Thank you

If you really want to make an impact on your resume, there are a few ways you can go about doing it. One would be to take a course offered by the Association of Finance and Insurance Professionals (AFIP). They are the only F&I certification sanctioned by NADA and recommended by NIADA. They have certified over 15,000 people worldwide, and their certification is required by Saturn. They also have an ethics module that puts the ball in your court as far as how you handle customer transactions. This takes the pressure off of the dealership and holds you accountable for your actions within the industry. When you test with them you get a nameplate and a diploma, as well as a certificate of affirmation that you can include in your resume. Good luck and just call the number on their website, they are extremely helpful.
