Terms of use

Who runs DealerPrep

DealerPrep is operated independently in Ontario, Canada. Contact: [email protected].

Study companion, not a credential

DealerPrep is a third-party study tool. It does not issue credentials, certifications, or licenses. The Automotive Certification Course and OMVIC's CPD program are administered by Georgian College and OMVIC respectively, on their own platforms. Passing within DealerPrep is not a passing grade for any official assessment.

No affiliation

DealerPrep is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OMVIC, the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery, Georgian College, or the Automotive Business School of Canada. References to these organisations are nominative, identifying the regulators and courses the app prepares for, not claiming any partnership.

Accuracy and updates

We use commercially reasonable efforts to keep questions and references aligned with the current MVDA and OMVIC regulations. Regulations change; mistakes happen. If you spot one, email [email protected]. Use of DealerPrep is at your own risk; you should always verify a specific legal requirement against the source legislation.

Acceptable use

• Don't share access to a paid entitlement across accounts.
• Don't attempt to disrupt the service for other users.
