The following policies will help instructors become more familiar with the Specialized Degrees, as well as help answer students' questions.

• The Institute's Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) designation is not a pre-requisite for the Specialized Degrees.
• When students take a course, they will earn credits toward both the AAM and Specialized Degrees.
• The Specialized Degrees require students to have two years of mechanical or collision repair work experience.
• Students may test out of previously attended courses and earn credit toward the Specialized Degrees.
• Each required course (topic) will earn students one (1) credit.
• To receive credit, students must complete the required coursework, pass a post-course exam and return the test to AMI with a $20 per test fee.
