The U.S. General Services Administration has launched a new certification program for the federal fleet community at no additional cost. The Federal Fleet Manager Certification Program (FFMCP) encompasses an overview of federal vehicle policies and procedures.
Participants in the program must complete the following six core courses in order:
Fleet Management 101 – Participants will be given a high-level overview of fleet, including the annual cycle for federal fleet planning, acquisitions, and disposals, as well as the fleet manager’s role during the five key components in the fleet management life cycle.
Vehicle Acquisition – This course covers the regulations and processes for purchasing new vehicles, when to purchase or lease vehicles, and what to do when new vehicles are delivered.
Fleet Maintenance Management – This course teaches participants why performing and tracking maintenance is important and how they can minimize maintenance and repair costs in their own operations.
Fleet Risk Management – This course covers common risks and ways to manage them, risk management technology, and accident management procedures.
Liability While Driving a Government-Owned Vehicle (GOV) – This course covers the driver’s personal liability when operating a government vehicle or operating a personal or rental vehicle for official government business.

In addition, all participants in the program must take two of the following electives:
Federal Mandates, Policies & Sustainability – This course covers key regulations to follow when managing, tracking, and reporting a fleet. This includes the alternative fuels and advanced technology that may improve fleet operations, as well as the systems and data needed to meet federal reporting requirements.
