AMA Overview
Automotive Management Accreditation is a voluntary accreditation scheme designed to improve management and consistency of management within the retail industry.
Why does the retail automotive industry need AMA?
- To provide clear progression and career paths for managers and leaders in the sector
- To improve the support the sector currently offers its managers and leaders
- To grow and retain our managers and leaders
- To enable individuals to demonstrate current competence and professionalism
- To drive business efficiency
- To attract, develop and retain good people
Through extensive research and consultation with over 400 employers and industry stakeholders within the automotive retail industry, the IMI has established that managers have had a lack of support gaining the skills to operate as effective managers and leaders. The vast majority of managers have had little opportunity to engage in a comprehensive career structure.
Less than 18% of managers within the automotive retail industry have gained a Level 4 qualification or assessed training programmes. Often technicians and sales people are promoted to management positions without training to support their progression.
AMA accreditation is a practical, non-academic approach to reviewing the skills and methods of managers within the automotive retail industry. It provides an industry standard of management and leadership.
