Automotive Business School
The Automotive Business School brings together a range and depth of professional experience with dynamic educational techniques and qualifications to deliver bespoke blended learning programmes to clients. All BDS courses and qualifications are designed to improve practical ability in management through knowledge and application. Approved by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) through IMI Awards Ltd, BDS qualifications are of the highest standard available in the industry.
Our network of specialists in the automotive retail sector bring comprehensive resources to life in the classroom, whilst our online Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) provides students with an “anytime-anywhere” accessibility to a range of supporting audio, visual and written resources.
Our courses are uniquely designed to suit client needs (from vehicle manufacturer or dealership perspectives) and emphasise the importance of profitability. Business models are used in which students become involved in the full operation of an automotive retail business, and ultimately create workable profit improvement plans for their own business areas.
Our qualifications require learning to be applied. Through our Diploma in Automotive Business Studies we expect both high levels of knowledge, tested through our online VLE, and the ability to turn knowledge to real performance improvements. Distinctions can only be achieved through evidence of profit or performance improvement. The Diploma offers an automatic routeway to membership of the IMI, subject to experience, (MIMI) and a foundation routeway to an automotive MBA in partnership with the University of Worcester.
At BDS we believe that learning should be enjoyable and motivational. We work hard to ensure that students find the experience both stimulating and rewarding. More importantly, we expect management skills, knowledge and professionalism to be enhanced to stay ahead in a continuously changing and increasingly challenging business environment.
