AFP announces training days for 2025

Through its AFP Academy training arm, it will make 576 days of training available to fleet managers across a range of courses compared to 530 days this year and 386 days in 2023. Ronnie Gillman, AFP training manager, said: “We’re looking at a 9% rise in days provided in 2025 and, to meet this need for more training, we have created a network of training venues across the UK, providing a boost in our capacity. “It’s really pleasing to us to see this level of demand. As the fleet industry’s professional body, it’s a key part of our remit that we play a major part in upskilling fleet managers, and there appears to be more enthusiasm for this today than at any point in the past.” Two courses were especially proving popular, she said – Fleet Vehicle Management Foundation and Making the Switch to Electric Vehicles (EVs). “The foundation course has especially seemed to hit a sweet spot. It is designed to develop the skills of those carrying out everyday tasks in the administration of fleets and interest has been very high. These are crucial roles in our industry and this training seems to have fulfilled a very real need for a course of this kind. “Also, we successfully rethought our EV course this year, changing it from a one-day in-person to a half-day online format and it looks as though this approach fits the requirements of many more fleet managers. It provides a strong grounding in EV operation without taking delegates out of the office.”
