The Tenancy Skills Institute program is a competency based training package available as a fully self-led online course, as a virtual classroom experience or in a face-to-face classroom style setting. The course covers the following key skillsets:
- Communication
- Rights and Responsibilities
- Maintaining and Cleaning a Property
- Finances and Budgeting
The Tenancy Skills Institute was developed in response to an identified need within our community. Property managers and agents told us that they were increasingly working with tenants who did not have the basic level of skills required to sustain a tenancy. We learnt that many potential tenants do not even get a chance to prove themselves because their application was not considered strong enough, and this is even worse in areas with low vacancy rates.
