I went in for an interview today, and the interviewer mentioned that I have to pay for a certification class. Anyone else ever heard of this?

I think to make sure you understand the brand you are selling?

Technicians need certification. I have never heard of a sales consultant needing any certification. I was one for many years. Strange.

Salesperson. That's why it seems weird to me.

What position are you going for? As a mechanic some places require a certification that you can work on different types of vehicles.
