Training Seminar: The Essentials of Fleet Management

Learn everything you need to know about running your fleet – in just one day!

Who is this course for?
This one day training course is for managers and administrators who have responsibility for managing their car or van fleet but have no previous experience or specialist knowledge. Although this is particularly aimed at smaller businesses, this will give a good insight into the essentials of managing a fleet for anyone starting out.

It will give an understanding of the basics of managing a fleet, why it is important, environmental and health and safety considerations and key principles such as monitoring fuel use.

The course is delivered by an expert consultant with many years of experience in advising large and small companies alike. The trainer understands the legal and commercial pressures facing businesses who manage their own fleets.

Places will be strictly limited to 20 per course and allocated on a first come, first served basis with a reserve list.
