The car salesperson course is a continuing education, further training course that leads to a Federal Professional Examination (FPE) to become an "Automobile Sales Consultant with a Federal Professional Certificate".

Eight modules must be completed before the Federal Professional Examination for continuing education, further training as a car salesperson or automobile sales consultant with Federal Diploma of Higher Education. These are: Sales psychology and personality development; sales communication and sales methodology; administration and IT; accounting; sales-related product knowledge, business and work organization; insurance and law; marketing and the automotive market.

There is no fixed background that a prospective car salesperson must have.
