IIAE courses focus on every significant aspect of dealership operations, and give students state-of-the-art information and techniques that are immediately useful in their daily work. Courses are delivered online in a user-friendly format that enables students to study on their own schedule by accessing the course website and following easy-to-use lectures, media, and tests as they work through course material. Students receive feedback on their performance, and complete their coursework in a surprisingly short time.

Designed by experienced industry professionals, IIAE courses focus on enabling students to use what they learn immediately. IIAE's programs focus on increasing the return on management's investment in employee training and education.

The curriculum includes courses in sales, management, marketing, finance and insurance, fixed operations, aftermarket, and industry essentials necessary for understanding the industry's role in the global economy. Using illustrations and case studies that enable students to practice what they learn, IIAE courses provide a practical approach to enhancing employee performance and confidence in dealing with customers, peers, and business partners.

IIAE degree and certificate programs enhance the employee's value within the organization, and create an admired and respected image in the community for the dealership. Combining experienced and knowledgeable faculty with the benefits of technology-assisted learning, IIAE responds to the needs of the retail automotive industry by offering a realistic and profitable approach to training and education for dealerships and their personnel.

The opportunity to study online enables students to move through each course at their own pace. Quizzes provide a "checkpoint" for students to confirm what they have learned, and performance on exams at the end of each course is the basis for awarding course credit.

The IIAE curriculum has been designed by faculty with direct experience in the industry. An IIAE certificate provides students with a basis for advancing their credentials and knowledge, making more significant contributions to their organization, and earning the recognition of supervisors and peers for their efforts in personal and professional development. Learning online enables busy industry professionals to advance their education in the least intrusive way possible, under the direction of IIAE's leadership team, and with support from IIAE faculty and staff.
