Check the requirements that apply to vehicle sales in the province or territory where you intend to work. Ask the relevant regulator whether the position requires individual registration, a licence, an examination or another form of authorization. Have the employer distinguish legal requirements from its own onboarding certificates and manufacturer product credentials. Do not assume that an EV course satisfies vehicle-sales requirements, or that a sales credential authorizes high-voltage repair work. Confirm who handles applications, pays required fees and monitors renewals.
