Schedule — All sessions are at 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET

Tuesday, October 26: Asset Management– Fleet assets can be a significant segment of an organization’s total net value and operating expenses. In this session, learn best practices for managing these assets from procurement to remarketing, and everything in between, all while minimizing costs.

Wednesday, October 27: Business Management– All fleet professionals must be knowledgeable business managers. This session will cover an array of practical and commonly encountered business topics, including fleet law, policies, RFPs, emergency operations, strategic partnering, and more.

Tuesday, October 28: Financial Management– Understanding financial concepts will help your fleet maintain operational and budgetary efficiency. Gain the ability to understand how personal use, leasing, purchasing, reimbursement, life cycle cost analysis, and performance monitoring impact your fleet.

Thursday, October 29: Maintenance Management– Vehicle maintenance directly impacts productivity, driver satisfaction, corporate image, safety, environmental compliance, and the financial bottom line. In this session, learn about vehicle maintenance, inventory management, and other critical competencies.

Wednesday, November 2: Information Management– With general IT knowledge, fleet professionals can interact with support staff to solve problems and enhance functionality. Discover the tools to function in a data-rich work environment, including fleet management information systems, telematics, and more.

Monday, November 3: Vehicle Fuel Management– Fuel is the second largest fleet vehicle expense, so its management requires scrutiny to take every opportunity for minimizing costs and mitigating risk. In this session, learn about conventional and alternative fuels, and uncover associated issues and policies.

Thursday, November 4: Risk Management– This session will demonstrate the fundamentals of managing fleet risk, including insurance, safety policies, safety programs, subrogation, personnel training, crash management, and safety, in addition to how to effectively handle a loss.

Monday, November 5: Professional Development– With emerging technology, changing legal issues, and increased responsibilities, fleet specialists, like most professionals, need to continually educate themselves. Bolster your organizational and leadership skills and set yourself up for the future in this session.

Telematics serves as the foundation for collecting real-world data.  Telematics helps gauge a variety of things such as daily mileage, route patterns, dwell and idling times, and payload and energy consumption.  Coupled with data analytics, ideal vehicle candidates for electric replacement and best suitable vehicle routes are identified.  Learn how fleet managers use telematics to leverage data for accurate range assessment requirements, charging needs, and operational impacts to make return on investment decisions.

Law enforcement agencies are rapidly expanding their use of battery-electric vehicles (EVs) for patrol, traffic enforcement, and specialty assignments—driven by fuel and maintenance savings, emissions goals, and the emergence of pursuit-capable platforms. This webinar will provide a practical, decision-focused look at what it takes to evaluate, procure, and operate EVs in law enforcement, including duty-cycle fit, charging strategy, upfitting and equipment loads, vehicle downtime, and total cost of ownership.

Join this webinar to hear candid, first-hand lessons learned from a large municipal police department with a year of experience operating a fleet of Chevy Blazer Police Pursuit Vehicles, plus a retired police chief and change-management consultant who will address the organizational and cultural shifts needed for successful fleet electrification. We’ll also explore how EV pursuit platforms perform under rigorous vehicle dynamics testing—what metrics matter most, how to interpret results, and the key questions to ask as you assess EVs for your agency’s operational needs.

The notion of “office hours” traces its roots back to an academic tradition. During this designated time, students were aware that they could visit a professor’s office to seek advice, discuss ideas, tackle challenges, and find solutions with the guidance of an expert. Now, you have the opportunity to benefit from Office Hours as well!  Rather than meeting with professors, you’ll have the chance to connect with a busy, knowledgeable, well-connected CAFM who has dedicated time specifically for you and your fellow candidates. As you aspire to attain your CAFM, your Office Hours Host is here to assist.  

In this session, our faculty will: 
• showcase her career journey and experiences 
• teach a 30-minue insider lesson on one competency – Business Management 
• share their favorite test taking pro-tip  
• engage in open dialogue to answer your questions

Risk Management is a form of planning and decision-making dealing with uncertain events as well as controlling risks before they become a problem. While insurance is commonly associated with risk management, it is not possible or practical to insure against every situation; hence, risk management provides additional strategies for dealing with loss.  

Through three live virtual sessions, participants will be able to engage in instructor-led lessons, question and answer sessions, and have access to a knowledgeable expert. Upon conclusion of the three-part course, participants will gain access to the Risk Management Certificate program exam, a 50-question multiple-choice test that can be taken anytime, anywhere (system requirements apply). Those who successfully pass the exam (one year from date of purchase) will be awarded a professional certificate.  

This course will cover the discipline’s competencies including: 

• Fundamentals of Risk Management 
• Insurance 
• Fleet Safety Policies 
• Fleet Safety Programs 
• Crash Management 

Course inclusions: NAFA’s Risk Management e-Guidebook, Risk Management Study Guide, (3) 2-hour live sessions, (1) Online Risk Management Certificate exam, and a Professional Certificate – upon successful passing of exam (optional) 

Speakers: TBD
