The participants could basically avail their free time during the weekends which is when the academy holds the training sessions though restricting it to a single session a month. So, now is the right time as any to enroll for the program which will soon to begin on March 16th this year.

Three levels are there in the uniquely designed program for India where the participants can attain the proficiency of Advanced Training, Pro Training and Masters level where the latter offers the unparalleled expertise in handling the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG  and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 sports car.
