Description

Running a fleet of cars in today’s environment is a complex activity which impacts on many areas of the business. It requires the fleet manager or administrator to exercise a wide range of skills over several different disciplines. The cost of running even a relatively small fleet is substantial, and considerable savings and benefits will be obtained from a fleet that is operating at maximum efficiency. To achieve this, it is essential that today’s fleet managers are fully equipped, trained, and supported in this vital business activity.

In the past the job of fleet manager or administrator has landed on the shoulders of “the most convenient person”, with little thought given to the scale of the job, previous experience, or any training requirements. Our FVFM course is designed to fill this gap in a pragmatic and relevant way. To do so it recognises the differing needs of the fleet in each business.

The course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Above all, we know fleet management is not an exact science and there is little place for prescriptive solutions. It is vital that the fleet activity is organised to serve the business that is running the fleet.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners and intermediate students who want to up-skill their knowledge base on the subject
  • Fleet Managers who wants to have more control of their fleet and make improvements.
  • Personnel working in logistics, distribution, or transport roles who are involved in vehicle scheduling, routing, and coordination.
  • Workshop managers, mechanics, or operations coordinators involved in vehicle upkeep and availability.
