Courses
Riders runs courses in driving and riding and in basic maintenance as well as in fleet management.
Where Riders is carrying out the ‘training of trainers’; key trainers are sometimes asked to attend an intensive course at the Riders International Academy of Vehicle Management in Harare. Sometimes training takes place locally, under the supervision of specialist Riders staff.
The IAVM runs courses for delegates from NGOs and other organisations. These courses are:
General Fleet Manager
This 30 day course provides all the training a delegate needs to manage a fleet of vehicles. It includes modules in how to train others in safe riding and driving, and daily maintenance for two and four wheeled vehicles. We provide training in the management of stores, fuel and workshops.
The course also includes attachments to Riders’ main office and an attachment to a provincial technician to see maintenance taking place in the field. The course covers all other issues surrounding fleet management, including why good fleet management is important.
