What Sets 24-7 Dealer Training Specialists Apart from Other California Dealer Education Providers?
November 6th, 2026 by Jessica Biarbe
Navigating California's automotive regulatory requirements takes more than simply passing a licensing examination. Whether you are a first-time applicant completing the mandatory six-hour pre-licensing dealer education program or an established dealer fulfilling continuing education requirements, choosing an experienced education provider is an important step toward operating a successful dealership.
24-7 Dealer Training Specialists is listed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as a dealer education provider, offering online education throughout California, including Southern California, Northern California, the Bay Area, and the Central Valley.
Here is what distinguishes our educational programs and professional experience from other providers:
1. Extensive Departmental and Regulatory Experience
Our educational programs are developed under the leadership of a former California DMV Licensing Inspector who worked directly within the Occupational Licensing section.
That experience extends beyond licensing. Our background includes clerical service within the Investigations section, assisting supervisors in the Legal Department with the preparation and typing of legal pleadings, and working within the Driver License and Vehicle Registration sections.
This firsthand experience provides valuable insight into DMV procedures, licensing requirements, regulatory expectations, and the practical responsibilities associated with operating a California automobile dealership.
2. Nearly Five Decades of Combined DMV and Educational Experience
Our experience includes:
- 28 years of direct service with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
- 19 years of dedicated experience teaching California dealer education.
This combination of departmental knowledge and teaching experience provides practical instruction that reflects real-world dealership operations.
Our objective is to help students understand not only what the law requires, but also how those requirements apply to everyday dealership compliance.
3. Education That Reflects California's Changing Laws and Regulations
California's automotive industry is subject to ongoing legislative and regulatory changes. Dealers must stay informed about new requirements that affect advertising, vehicle sales, financing, documentation, licensing, and consumer protections.
Our curriculum and study materials are continually reviewed and updated to reflect applicable changes in California DMV guidelines, the California Vehicle Code (CVC), and other relevant laws and regulations.
This includes significant legislative developments such as California's Combating Auto Retail Scams (CARS) Act, SB 766, which became effective October 1, 2026. The DMV's CARS Act notice explains the new requirements.
Staying informed about these changes is an important part of responsible dealership management.
4. Focused on Operational Compliance and Understanding
Our lesson plans provide a structured, comprehensive guide to the California statutes and regulations governing automobile dealerships.
We believe dealer education should be understandable, practical, and informative. Rather than simply preparing students to pass a licensing examination, our educational approach emphasizes understanding the laws and regulatory responsibilities that affect daily dealership operations.
Understanding these requirements helps dealers avoid preventable violations, reduce regulatory exposure, protect their businesses, and maintain compliance with applicable licensing requirements and responsibilities.
5. Flexible, Self-Paced Learning
We understand that operating or establishing an automobile dealership requires considerable time and attention. Our programs offer flexible learning options designed to accommodate busy schedules while providing thorough instruction.
Whether you prefer a Zoom webinar-style class or independent self-paced study, you can choose the format that best fits your schedule.
