Following the successful launch of its initial free virtual training courses, the Performance Development Center, JM&A Group’s in-house educational and training facility, has expanded its offerings for dealers throughout the industry. With the overwhelmingly positive response to the online, live training courses, four new sessions were created and will be available through the end of the month. The limited-time offering ends June 1.

“Within the first month of rolling out our new virtual learning service, more than 2,500 people have registered for courses in the areas of leadership, service, sales and F&I,” said Chris May, director of the Performance Development Center. “Early acceptance being what it was, we are confident that the demand for additional topics will also be high. We are pleased to provide this valuable service, allowing dealership teams across the country to gain new perspectives, enhanced skills and knowledge, and tools to help serve customers even better than before.”

Participants will receive 60 minutes of personal attention from world-class trainers and enjoy a mix of collaborative group learning, hands-on workshops, and individualized support. Class sizes will range from 10 to 12 individuals. Performance Plus Online’s suite of free, live, instructor-led courses available online will focus on F&I, service, sales and leadership. New courses being added to the existing cache include:
