Above all, specialist knowledge of vehicles, advisory skills, sales skills and customer orientation are crucial. Many employers place more value on practical experience and personal aptitude than on a specific qualification.

The profession of car consultant also requires commercial understanding, strong communication skills and an interest in technology. However, depending on the provider, certain basic knowledge may be recommended or required. Find out about admission requirements early on and request further information without obligation.

Yes, a course for the car consultant exam teaches the technical basics required to enter the profession.
Such a course for the car consultant exam focuses primarily on exam-relevant knowledge such as vehicle technology, sales talks, customer advice, legal principles as well as market and product knowledge. In addition, practical examples, case studies and sales situations are often dealt with in order to realistically reflect everyday working life. Nevertheless, the course is no substitute for extensive practical experience in a car dealership or direct customer contact. Important skills such as negotiating skills, dealing with customer expectations or internal processes are often only deepened in everyday working life. Many graduates therefore combine continuing education, further training with professional practice.
