This training provides landlords or agents that manage properties in Wales with relevant, up-to-date information and professional development opportunities in order to successfully manage tenancies within the law.
It is essential that the training provider will have the relevant qualifications and experience of the private rented sector to deliver training across the whole of Wales. Rent Smart Wales will require a competent training provider to deliver course material confidently and engagingly in order to positively engage with landlords and agents. Paramount is the ability of the trainer to quickly gain the respect of delegates, which will require a good understanding of the pressures and challenges facing landlords and agents.
