“Our goal at BMW is to provide our dealers with high-quality, premium training that helps to drive competitive advantage,” said Andreas Rönnqvist, Qualification Cluster Manager, BMW Group Northern Europe. “RPS’s decades of experience in the automotive industry, advanced technology solutions, and flexibility positions it well to help BMW move to ever-more-efficient and innovative training.”

Training will be delivered primarily to BMW technicians, body repairers, service and parts advisors, sales consultants, and various dealership-management functions. Training areas will range from certification training and product training to sales-launch training and dealer coaching.

“BMW Northern Europe wanted a training partner with a strong European footprint who can build on its current training system, introduce the right innovations, and ensure a consistent and efficient approach across the region. RPS is the perfect fit,” said Mark Oliver, managing director, EMEA, Raytheon Professional Services.
