Pre-Licensing Education (PLE)

This class is mandatory (legislation 66-4-2). Please note that Continuing Education will be required yearly to renew your dealers license (66-4-2a)

The Pre-Licensing Education course is one of the state requirements you will need to fulfill to become a New Mexico Independent Auto Dealer. It is an eight (8) hour class which is taught by the NMIADA Executive Director.

The class will cover basics of dealer responsibilities, best practices, operational strategies, required sales paperwork, statues, regulations as well as federal and state compliance. You will also be introduced to supporting businesses that offer services to help your dealership succeed.

Pre-Licensing is held on the second Tuesday of every month. You may register by going to our Events & News Tab then selecting our Events Calendar or utilize the following link to go straight to our EVENTS CALENDAR  where you will be able to register.
