On September 4, 197 sales specialists were presented with their federal certificates at the Casino Lucerne. The written and oral examinations, which were organized by Swiss Marketing (SMC), were completed by 297 candidates in two languages, German and Italian. The youngest participant was just under 21, the oldest 49 years old.
There were two premieres this year, according to a press release from Swiss Marketing: The title "Sales Specialist" replaces the title "Sales Coordinator". This is due to the examination reform of the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology (OPET). And, more importantly, the 2009 graduates are among the first to receive a European-compatible certificate. Swiss Marketing (SMC) and its training system have been accepted as a new member of the European Marketing Confederation (EMC). This agreement will come into force in the fall. This opens the door to the European labor market for graduates, as Swiss qualifications can now be classified for all employers on the continent for the first time.
