SAN JOSE, Calif. — eBay Motors has launched the eBay Motors eDealer Certified Consultant program. Representing an expansion of its popular eDealer training program, the online marketplace for all things auto has added curriculum designed specifically for trainers and consultants of dealer solutions providers.

Through the program, participants will take a complete series of online courses to provide them with the tools and knowledge they need to become successful dealer partners, empowering them to achieve a successful eBay automotive business.

“The eBay Motors’ eDealer training program has been very successful, with 3,000 franchised and independent dealers participating over the past four years,” said Clayton Stanfield, senior manager of dealer training for eBay Motors. “eBay provides dealers with much more than a marketplace to sell vehicles and parts.  We are also committed to providing education and resources to dealers and the solution providers that support them.” 

In order to complete the program, participants must take a five-chapter online training course (approx. 20 minutes per class), and then pass a completion exam. Participants who successfully complete the program receive an eBay Motors eDealer certified logo that can used on their stores’ websites, promotional materials and business cards, inclusion on the eBay Motors Dealer Hub page, and a certificate signifying their certified status.

After earning the certification, consultants and trainers spend one-on-one time with eBay trainers for continued support, and learn how to teach best practices to others. Consultants will also take an annual class to renew their certification.
