- Training includes all forms of training (face-to-face seminars, webinars, workshops, in-house and virtual classroom training) as well as all employee/target groups of the dealership organization.
- Participant and qualification management is required to elicit existing employee qualifications and competencies and their training needs.
- The complete training administration (needs assessment, organization, communication, control, reporting, etc.) is to be handled by a service provider.
- Training status and training availability should be transparent for customers and retailers/participants.
- The efficiency of the training courses that have taken place should be monitored and measured.
