Most recently, NAFA became a member of the Center for Professional Fleet Certification (CPFC).

In April, the selected QEK managers will hit the CAFM books to embark on this ground breaking educational journey, which will earn them the highest designation a person can earn in “fleet management”. This intense program encompasses eight (8) fleet management disciplines including: Business, Maintenance, Risk, Professional Development, Asset, Financial, Fleet Information and Vehicle Fuel. All of the 14 QEK participants have volunteered their time, effort and dedication to complete this initiative. QEK is proud to make this investment in our most valuable company assets … our PEOPLE!

Upon program completion, the 14 QEK managers participating in the training will have earned the honorable title of CAFM, which is a widely recognized achievement in the fleet industry. This title, like any other specialized discipline, allows QEK to demonstrate our commitment to being the best at what we do in the industries we serve. We look forward to sharing our education with you to continue to provide “best in class” fleet management services.
