Car Audio School
If you really want to take car audio seriously—possibly create a business or apply for a job based on it—enrolling in a car audio school is a viable option. No, this is not a paid infomercial from current installer schools, this is just an article we thought of writing because of some mails we received from inquirers.
Car audio school sounds like a weird idea but the truth is, there are a number of valid institutes that teach you the ups and downs of system installations. What’s weird at this point, however, are those that offer online programs. I mean, how? Serious install skills need hands-on experience, right? Frankly, we still do not know how such works—if it even does—but maybe we would have created some noise because of this article that will prompt them to contact us.
So now that we’ve done our research, we have compile a short list of training institutes and schools, which we will continue to update with those that we are currently unaware of, or new ones that will surface post writing this article. So we hope that you find below one that is accessible to you, so you can go on and have a car audio-related profession.
We apologize but at this point our schools list is composed only of U.S. locations. If you know of other schools—or run one—outside the United States, please do not hesitate to contact us for a free listing.

List will be updated shortly…
By the way, the online course we we’re talking about is Mobile Dynamics. We know that they offered in-house training for some time but has now reverted completely to online.
It is also important to know some car audio governing bodies like MESA or The Mobile Electronics Schools Association and MECP or Mobile Electronics Certified Professional. If you want to launch a career fast, it helps to get certifications from these. By the way, MESA is an organization for schools.
