Swiss Automobile Industry Association (AGVS)

Working in a fascinating world
People who work in the automotive industry operate in a fascinating world: powerful engines, tuned sports cars, fuel-efficient hybrid cars, state-of-the-art trucks. But that's not all. There is a car to suit every need. That's why the automotive industry is ahead in many areas of automotive technology.

We take care of 5.5 million vehicles
But building vehicles is only one thing. It is just as important to maintain and repair the 5.5 million vehicles in Switzerland. The 5200 garages are responsible for this. 4000 of them belong to the professional and industry association AGVS. They have 39,000 employees. Of these, 8500 are apprentices. Because the mobility of people and goods is increasing, garages will continue to need many good professionals in the future - people like you.

Questions and answers

Ja, ein Kurs für die Prüfung zum Berater Auto vermittelt die fachlichen Grundlagen, die für den Einstieg in den Beruf erforderlich sind.
Ein solcher Kurs für die Prüfung zum Berater Auto fokussiert sich primär auf prüfungsrelevantes Wissen wie Fahrzeugtechnik, Verkaufsgespräche, Kundenberatung, rechtliche Grundlagen sowie Markt- und Produktkenntnisse. Ergänzend werden häufig praxisnahe Beispiele, Fallstudien und Verkaufssituationen behandelt, um den Berufsalltag realistisch abzubilden. Dennoch ersetzt der Kurs keine umfassende Praxiserfahrung im Autohaus oder im direkten Kundenkontakt. Wichtige Fähigkeiten wie Verhandlungsgeschick, Umgang mit Kundenerwartungen oder interne Abläufe werden oft erst im Arbeitsalltag vertieft. Viele Absolventinnen und Absolventen kombinieren daher die Weiterbildung mit beruflicher Praxis. Informiere dich bei den Anbietern über Inhalte und Praxisanteile oder fordere weitere Details über das Kontaktformular an.

In order to be admitted to the Federal Diploma of Higher Education (FPE) in Automotive Sales Consultant, candidates must pass 8 modules, each of which is concluded with an examination. You take these examinations at the end of each module block, which you complete as part of a preparatory course. Accordingly, in order to be allowed to take the Federal Professional Examination as a car consultant, you must attend a corresponding examination preparation course at a school that offers this.

Nein, für den Einstieg als Berater Auto ist nicht zwingend ein formeller Lehrabschluss erforderlich.
Wer Berater Auto werden möchte, kann auch über Berufserfahrung, Quereinstieg oder eine gezielte Weiterbildung in den Verkauf einsteigen. Entscheidend sind vor allem Fachkenntnisse rund um Fahrzeuge, Beratungskompetenz, Verkaufsfähigkeiten und Kundenorientierung. Viele Arbeitgebende legen mehr Wert auf Praxiserfahrung und persönliche Eignung als auf einen bestimmten Abschluss. Weiterbildungen und Kurse können fehlende formale Qualifikationen gezielt ausgleichen. Der Beruf Berater Auto erfordert zudem kaufmännisches Verständnis, Kommunikationsstärke und technisches Interesse. Je nach Anbieter können jedoch bestimmte Grundkenntnisse empfohlen oder vorausgesetzt werden. Informiere dich frühzeitig über Zulassungsbedingungen und fordere unverbindlich weitere Informationen an.
