Testimonials

I found the module challenging and I learned a lot as it took me out of my comfort zone within the Police fleet management. This made me look out with my current role and carry out more research on other methods and practices in the industry, which I would not normally do. I feel I have a more rounded view on different funding methods, etc than before.

I wish, at the beginning of our cooperation, to thank you for your trust and the honour you showed me in receiving me as a member of the ICFM. The great experience that I have in my previous work on different fleets and this membership will not relax me, it will make me even more dedicated to learn, now with literature written by you and your esteemed colleagues. The badge I wear, it’s going to be with pride and I’ll work hard to promote the ICFM in this part of the Europe.

Since taking on the role of our Fleet Manager, it has been a pleasure to see both Gareth Roberts develop into a highly professional manager as well as seeing our fleet gradually upgrade through his efforts to a fleet that is of the highest standard and achieving accolades from other government bodies as well as outside bodies. The contribution to this through Gareth meeting colleagues within ICFM and exchanging thoughts, ideas and best practice have also made a welcome contribution.

Just wanted to drop you a few words to express my thanks regarding the foundation module of the Fast Track programme. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days and feel I learned a lot and thought the presentation was excellent.

The ICFM Introductory Certificate in Car Fleet Management was a fantastic learning experience for me. It gave me the opportunity to think outside of my role and look at the different things a fleet manager needs and wants from a company like Arval. It also taught me things about the industry that I would not have known otherwise. I would highly recommend the course to anyone in sales that wants a better understanding of the things that we can do to provide excellent service for our customers.

I would recommend the Introductory Certificate in Car Fleet Management to anyone working in the fleet industry as a good sounding board to progressing your career in this type of business or just to improve your general understanding of fleet management.

I have received my results and I am very pleased! I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course and how useful I found it, thank you!

In fact I found it so useful that the company are hoping to be able to get Kayleigh Smith our Fleet Coordinator on the next one.

Just to let you know I am being promoted to Car Fleet Manager from the 1st April. I seem to have so much more confidence with relation to the car fleet now I have passed the Certificate and am sure it has helped me get the promotion.

The BVRLA’s Professional Fleet Consultant Development Programme developed in conjunction with the Institute of Car Fleet Management (ICFM), is targeted at sales and business development executives within BVRLA member companies. The four day training programme equips participants with the skills and knowledge to align their sales role more closely with the demands and responsibilities of the client fleet manager.

The programme, launched in October 2008, has been enthusiastically welcomed by the leasing and fleet management industry, which has seen its customers grow more sophisticated in their business processes and, as a consequence, more demanding of their service providers. BVRLA members recognize the value in an industry –acknowledged qualification that demonstrates both their investment in employee development and their commitment to understanding the needs of their customers.

The BVRLA chose to work with the ICFM because of its accredited training programmes and its expertise in delivering training to fleet managers. Currently 40 business executives from 18 BVRLA members have benefited from the attending the programme so far and further programmes are scheduled for 2010. It has been praised for providing the fleet sales consultant with much needed accreditation and helping to build mutual understanding and respect among clients and prospects alike. It is also seen as ideal preparation for tapping into the needs of the client before preparing a proposal.

Since taking part in the fast track programme and obtained this valuable qualification myself, I have been promoted, been given a company car and an assistant. I attribute some of these changes to the fact that a business qualification and the knowledge gained from the studies and training is noticed within the business and I have been able to make some significant changes to policy and save the company substantial sums of money in the process.

I found the course very informative and think it has enhanced my skills, knowledge and confidence greatly, which will be a great asset for both myself and Inchcape. Another great lesson I have learnt is that if somebody tells me to do course work as I go along rather than leave it until the end I will most certainly be doing so.
