Are there any on-line Harley repair technician schools I can participate in to become certified?
I am interested in becoming a certified Harley Davidson repair technician with hopes of opening my own shop in my area. Are there any online courses that I can enroll in to get my certificate through an online educational class.
Ask yourself this; Would you let someone that has only completed an on line training course and had no hands on training or experiance work on your bike?
Nope.
As for opening your own shop, if your interest lies in being a genuine Harley wrech, you have to be a Harley dealer. Look around, the days of the low buck dealership in general, much less a Harley franchise, are loooong gone.
Not having first hand experiance with "The Motor Company" I can't accurately address what they require. But 1.5 million ain't even close. Honda requires 1 million in liquid assets be set aside in an escrow account before they will even begin negotiations with a prospective new dealer. Add in building costs, special tools, signs, required parts on hand, etc, etc and you can easily get up to another million and you still don't have your bikes floor planned or your doors open! Wrenches don't own dealerships anymore. Plus we haven't even addressed the fact that just because you want a delaership in your area a franchise might not be available there. As a frnachised dealership owner you'll find that the manufacturer is holding all the cards and dealing them...
You could go the MMI, AMI, local community college route and become familiar with any brand of your choice. But in my experiances hiring and dealing with mechanics these guys come out of school not as first class tech's, but more like good assembly guys that are ready to begin hands on training in the field. Most don't last two years. Only the truely passionate about what they do hang in there to become the guy we all want to have our bikes worked on by.
Don't give up your dream, just understand that in todays marketplace there isn't much room for the mechanic/shop owner. The climate in the industry today requires that the business owner be a true businessman, and that usually doesn't leave time for spinning wreches.
