Fuel is the second largest fleet vehicle expense, so its management requires scrutiny to take every opportunity for minimizing costs and mitigating risk.

This discipline’s competencies deal with both conventional and alternative fuels in centralized and decentralized operations.

Those who successfully pass the exam (one year from date of purchase) will be awarded a professional certificate.

In a very real sense, fleet management is asset management. These assets are a subset of the real properties owned or leased by an organization. Fleet professionals are responsible for the selection, procurement, use, care and remarketing of their employer’s fleet vehicle and equipment assets. These individuals can also be responsible for non-fleet equipment and infrastructure.

Fleet assets can be a significant segment of an organization’s total net value, and these assets represent a large portion of the total organizational operating expenses. How well these assets are managed can have a profound impact on the profitability of a company or the cost effectiveness of a public agency.

This discipline’s competencies deal with both conventional and alternative fuels in centralized and decentralized operations.

This course will cover the Asset Management competencies including:

• Strategic Sourcing
• Vehicle Invoices and Pricing
• Vehicle Selection
• Specification Types and Development
• Vehicle Procurement
• Active Fleet Management
• Vehicle Remarketing

Through three live virtual sessions on July 15, 16 and 17, learners will engage in instructor-led lessons, questions and answers sessions, and have access to a knowledgeable expert. Upon conclusion of the four-part course, participants will gain access to the Asset Management Certificate program exam, a 50-question multiple-choice test that can be taken anytime, anywhere (system requirements apply).
