Federal Fleet Manager Certification Program

Rockville, Md. – August 19th, 2015- Mercury Associates, Inc., (Mercury) in partnership with the National Property Management Association (NPMA), introduced the first certification program designed specifically for Federal Fleet Managers at the NPMA’s National Education Seminar in Ft. Worth, TX, over August 10 to 13.

New laws and regulations regarding inventory, cost, reporting, and sustainability have significantly increased the scrutiny on Federal fleet management. The new training and certification program, accessible for the first time to Federal fleet management personnel, addresses these areas along with best practices in the profession. Amidst restrained Federal conference events and budgets, this program meets a crucial need. Learn more about this initiative and its benefits at the NPMA National Education Seminar.

The training program offers three levels of increasingly detailed information, progressing from Federal Fleet Specialist to Administrator to Management certification, respectively (see Table 1, below). To attain the first level (Specialist), Federal fleet personnel must take the requisite classroom training and pass tests on each respective module. To move to higher levels requires additional training, testing, and documentation of years of fleet experience.

Mercury is under contract with NPMA to develop and conduct the training; NPMA ensures experienced governance of the program, including testing and certification.
