KPA Training
KPA Training: KPA sells compliance training for automotive dealerships as a catalog of courses delivered through its Vera Suite platform and, in some cases, onsite. Its pages describe courses covering topics from hazardous waste handling to sales compliance, grouped under environmental, health and safety, human resources, finance and insurance, and cybersecurity headings.
KPA Training: HR Compliance
The catalog is organized by role as well as by topic. KPA lists an Automotive Risk and Compliance Certification aimed at dealership executives such as general managers and owners.
A Finance Manager version of the certification aimed at finance managers and sales leaders. Each is described as a themed sequence of modules that a person completes online.
So a store can show which employees have finished a defined program.
State-specific material appears alongside the general courses. One KPA course page is titled as a back-to-basics service drive course for California dealers, which indicates that some content follows a state's rules rather than only federal requirements.
Dealer associations such as the Pennsylvania Automotive Association also publish pages describing member access to KPA's human resources and F&I compliance offerings.
KPA says Vera Suite assigns training automatically by job role across compliance categories. So a new hire receives the courses that apply to the position.
Support documentation from KPA describes a way to add onsite compliance training to the same platform, so classroom sessions delivered by a trainer can be recorded next to the online completions.
This entry covers the training component specifically, meaning the course library and its delivery. It is worth reading beside the Vera Suite record because a store may buy the software, the training or both.
Practical questions for a compliance officer: how often courses are revised when a regulation changes, whether completion certificates can be exported for an auditor, how a rooftop group tracks people who transfer between stores, whether the courses can be taken on a phone, and whether a store can substitute its own policy documents for a generic module.
KPA also offers consulting services, described on the same site as a companion to the software and training. So a dealer preparing for a specific audit may be quoted a combination.
The category guide for compliance training lists the same questions as a scorecard that can be applied to KPA and to any other provider a dealership considers. Confirm each point directly.
KPA builds a large training catalog for EHS and HR subjects. Courses run online and are assigned to employees by role.
A store would ask how completion is tracked and how a manager sees who is overdue.
