The Association of Fleet Professionals’ Fleet Academy has been designated as an IMI (Institute of The Motor Industry) Approved Centre for training just six months after launching.  

The IMI said it was delighted to see the commitment being made by the Association of Fleet Professionals to elevate the sector’s standards

Steve Nash, CEO of the IMI, said the IMI was delighted to see the commitment being made by the Association of Fleet Professionals to elevate the sector’s standards.  

“We look forward to working together to help extend continual professional development across the sector in the years to come,” he added.  

Unveiled at the start of 2022, the academy took over all professional tuition activities from the Institute of Car Fleet Management (ICFM) after the AFP was formed two years ago by uniting the ICFM with the Association of Car Fleet Operators (ACFO).  

Ronnie Gillman, training manager at the AFP, said the Approved Centre status was an important seal of approval from the IMI.  

“We work to elevate the standards of management in the fleet sector and help the current and next generation of fleet leaders put new skills and knowledge into action. We want learning and development to be available to everyone in the fleet industry – there are no qualification pre-requisites to attend our courses. They are designed to get everyone involved, enabling delegates to develop their professional skills, gain recognition and further their career,” he continued.   

Details about all of the AFP’s courses, including pricing, dates and locations, are available at www.theafp.co.uk.
