BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nation Safe Drivers (NSD), the leading provider of white label roadside assistance and F&I solutions, today announced the successful completion of its inaugural OnRamp Acceleration: Agent Certification Course, a two-day, interactive, instructor-led training program held October 6-7 at the company’s headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla. Following highly positive attendee feedback, NSD plans to offer two editions of the certification course in 2027.

Designed exclusively for agents representing OnRamp, NSD’s finance and insurance (F&I) brand built for agents, the course gave participants a chance to deepen their product knowledge, strengthen their sales expertise and apply what they learned through practical training exercises designed to help them better serve dealerships, identify business opportunities and grow their books of business.

OnRamp, powered by NSD, works exclusively through qualified agents to deliver a flexible, tailored suite of F&I products to dealerships nationwide. Built on NSD’s 60-plus years of F&I expertise, the portfolio helps motorists protect their vehicles and manage ownership costs, and includes vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection (GAP), and a full menu of ancillary products. OnRamp works as a partner, giving agents 24/7 access to deliver for their dealers, as well as NSD’s industry-leading capabilities, including in-house claims administration and a network of more than 50,000 service providers.

The certification course was developed to help agents translate their product knowledge into more effective dealer engagement and business development. The instructor-led program combined interactive training, real-world case studies, mock claims adjudication and hands-on training exercises to help participants build practical skills they can apply in their dealership relationships. Through these activities, agents explored product applications, worked through claims-related scenarios and practiced approaches to dealer conversations, customer needs and business development. Each component was designed to equip agents with the knowledge and confidence to deliver greater value to dealership partners and drive business growth. The course is one of several customizable training options OnRamp offers agents, alongside in-store support and digital modules through NSD360, NSD’s Learning Management System (LMS), allowing agents to access support that fits their needs and selling environments.

“Our goal with OnRamp is to give agents more than a competitive portfolio of F&I products. We want to provide the training, tools and ongoing support they need to become more valuable partners to their dealerships,” said John Michener, Senior Vice President of F&I Sales at Nation Safe Drivers. “The response to our first certification course confirmed the demand for this type of interactive, hands-on education. By expanding the program in 2027, we’re investing in our agents’ success and helping them build stronger dealer relationships and grow their businesses.”

The inaugural program brought together leaders and subject matter experts from across NSD, including David Beattie, Head of the Office of the CEO; and sales experts Shawn McNamara, Daniel Velez, Dan Mason and Carl Grane, who shared practical industry insights and real-world experience with participants.

Additional contributions came from Grisel Rodriguez, Director of Product Ownership; Melissa Morra, Client Lifecycle Operations Manager, and her team members Minerva Velazquez Alvino and Wandey Alexis; as well as Britney Edite and Kevin Carrie from the Operations and Claims teams. Steven Simbeck, NSD’s Director of Corporate Training, played a key role in developing the curriculum and coordinating the training experience, while Rick Terry contributed his knowledge as the driving force behind NSD360, the company’s learning management platform. Attendance was limited to 20 participants to foster an interactive learning environment, encourage meaningful discussions, and provide opportunities for direct engagement with instructors.

The positive response to the program’s initial offering underscores the value of providing agents with dedicated opportunities to build their expertise and strengthen their ability to support dealership partners. By expanding the program in 2027, NSD aims to extend these educational opportunities to more OnRamp agents and reinforce its commitment to equipping its network with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed in an evolving automotive retail environment. For OnRamp, that means being a partner to agents, not just a provider.

Additional details regarding the 2027 course dates, registration and participation requirements will be announced at a later date.
