National Automotive Fleet Association (NAFA) is the largest non-profit association for vehicle fleet managers worldwide.
NAFA supports vehicle management professionals through certification, education, advocacy, and networking opportunities for career success.
Recently, NAFA has said that their fleet management certification programs for fleet management or fleet specialists will be available online this fall. This means it will be easier for individuals to earn certification in programs such as the Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) and Certified Automotive Fleet Specialist (CAFS). This is indeed a welcome step forward in the certification process.
The certification content is still the same. Students will still need to set aside study time to pass the test. However, since the testing will be done online, the testing process will be much easier. Students can take the test as their schedule permits. With the online computer testing opportunity, people with busy schedules can obtain certification without the stress of finding a date and time that fits their schedule. In addition, students will not have to drive to a testing center or find a testing center close to their home or job site.
Fleet Management Certification – Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) – This is a comprehensive fleet management program. This program is for anyone currently working in the field, has worked there for over 1 year, or is enrolled in a college program in fleet management.
Fleet Management Certification – Certified Automotive Fleet Specialist (CAFS) – This program allows candidates to select four subjects from the eight disciplines available. The educational process takes two years. You can take this exam if you have a year of experience or if you are enrolled in a college program in the field. After you have completed this program, you are eligible to begin the CAFM program.
Students who want to take the certification tests online should note that certain computer requirements are necessary. First, test takers will need internet access and a computer with up-to-date software and browsers. In addition, a working webcam and a microphone are necessary. The testing system will notify you if your webcam or microphone is not working. Finally, it’s essential to have a private space with no noise, such as an office, home, classroom, or library.
Because of this, NAFA is anticipating a successful transition into the online world of certification testing this fall. Interested in a career in fleet management? We have a wide variety of jobs available throughout the United States.
