Mobile Dynamics
Founded in 1990, this school holds the distinction of being the industry's oldest training institution. It has the largest staff (see partial list below) in the industry and has facilities in both the United States and Canada. Mobile Dynamics is also the industry's only school offering introductory courses in sport tuning and home audio in addition to its core mobile electronics program. Why sport tuning and home audio? M.D.'s Director of U.S. operations, Tom Gazda, says: "An understanding of Custom Home and Sport Tuning is becoming extremely important to our graduates when seeking employment. Getting your career started is all about becoming a valuable asset to your employer as soon as possible. The modern installer's work week may include installing a new instrument cluster and head lights in addition to audio equipment in a customer's car one day and a satellite dish in a client's house the next." The school is licensed by the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education and is a member of the Arizona Private School Association.
