Automotive business economists (new: business economist in the automotive industry) - experts in the automotive industry

Automotive salespeople are considered THE experts in the entire automotive industry. They take on management functions in garages and companies in the automotive industry or run their own automotive company. They manage the entire staff of a garage, i.e. they are responsible for all employees in the workshop, the commercial area or the sales department.

The automotive salesperson deals with the financing and organization of the entire business. They also conduct various consultations with customers regarding a new purchase or repair.

Entrepreneurial skills are particularly important as a managing director or entrepreneur with their own garage; decisions have to be made on a daily basis that affect the entire organization, finances and personnel. This also includes the following tasks: Price calculation, working out the financing of the company and interpreting balance sheets and income statements. Automotive salespeople with a management function bear full responsibility for sales, workshop and technology.

Business economists in the automotive industry (HFP) can also be responsible for assessing automobile damage caused by accidents or other events at an insurance company - in other words, they can work as claims experts.

The continuing education program is completed with a federal diploma after passing the Advanced Federal PET Examination (HFP) and takes two years to complete while working. Further information as well as the requirements for admission to this course can be found on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch - your education platform with numerous free services relating to education and careers!
