Professionals in the auto industry who missed workshops at January’s NADA Convention & Expo — or even those who would like a refresher — now have a second chance to obtain the information.

Just announced is viewing availability of the workshops through NADA University Online,the online education and training arm of the National Automobile Dealers Association, by visiting www.NADAUniversity.com.

The workshops available include 64 recorded sessions covering seven tracks, designed to offer training and information for new-car and truck dealers toward their success in the retail market.
