Because these programs are so specialized, you need to apply, meet certain qualifications and be accepted into the designated program. You must interview successfully and meet established GPA, attendance, Motor Vehicle record, drug testing, relocation and entrance-exam requirements. The dealerships will sponsor your tuition in accordance with established terms of employment.
