The Automobile Dealer Training Association (ADTA) is located at
1299 Farnam, Suite 300, Omaha, Nebraska 68102.
We believe that a successful dealership isn’t just built on a great inventory—it’s built on knowledge, integrity, and compliance.
Integrity is the basic foundation of any Association and begins with providing full, upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden costs, after course charges, or unknown membership fees. The Federal Trade Commission requires all dealers to disclose their fees in advance of any purchase. We believe your dealer education provider should meet this requirement as well. You will know all of our eduation costs in advance of your enrollment. Please view our Pricing page for our transparent pricing and learn about everything that is included with your one time tuition payment.
In an industry that moves as fast as the cars on your lot, staying ahead of regulatory changes and market shifts is the difference between thriving and just surviving. We are your premier Nebraska dealer educational resource dedicated to empowering independent dealers with the tools you need to maintain compliance and grow your profits.
Our Mission
To provide world-class, accessible, and practical education that ensures every Nebraska dealer operates with maximum profitability and total legal compliance. We bridge the gap between complex state regulations and the daily reality of running a dealership.
