All FORS Professional manager training is delivered remotely.
Fleet Management Essentials is a course for fleet management and supervisory staff that operate car and van fleets. It provides an overview of good transport management principles, supports the continuous and effective management of a transport operation, and evidences FORS Bronze requirement M3 – Responsible Person.
Course delivery is in two options*, either comprehensive or intensive:
- FME2 Car and Van (comprehensive) – an extensive and interactive full day course (9am-16.00pm) designed to embed learning at a steady pace
- FME2 Car and Van (intensive) – an alternative fast paced half day course (9am-12.30pm) that is much less interactive
Each course covers the same training objectives and learning outcomes but to suit different learning styles. Therefore the price, end of course assessment and certification are the same whether you choose the comprehensive or the intensive option.
