Training Calendar
We work hard to avoid changes to planned trainings, but occasionally we may have to change the date of scheduled trainings. We will notify you one week before before the training start date with the option to reschedule for a future date.
One week before the training, we will share with you the exact timings of the live sessions. We determine these based on location of the majority of participants. For participants calling in from Southeast Asia, it might mean that the live sessions take place in the afternoon and evening, thereby allowing you to balance this with your ongoing activities.
Note: the trainings will take place online, unless specified as: 'in person training'.
Partially Funded by USAID
Under a sector capacity building with USAID, Fleet Forum is able to provide fleet management trainings at a fraction of the cost to fleet managers around the world.
The fees to participate in the training are USD 300.
For local and national NGOs, the cost of participating in the training is free - instead of 300 USD.
Fleet Forum is a not-for-profit membership association. We are able to offer such capacity building activities through donor funding and charging participants a portion of the costs. Scroll down to find special discounts we are offering.
Payment is due before the start of the training. If a participant has not responded after receiving a payment reminder, Fleet Forum reserves the right to cancel the registration.
Live Sessions with Fleet
Managers around the World
We work with group sizes of 10 -12 participants per training.
Registration does not guarantee a spot. We will review the registrations received and contact you via email.
The expected workload is about 2.5 hours per day during a 10-day period:
- 1.5 hours is self-study, which consists of completing e-learning modules, solving real-life case studies, preparing exercises;
- Once a day, we will have 1-hour “live” discussions (via videoconferencing). These sessions will take place in the morning and afternoon and are mandatory to attend to receive your certificate at the end of the training.
