Assessment & Traning Centre

ACEA offers RPL and Rental Training.

We have run a number of RPL information seminars during 2007/2008. RPL is well on its way and many agents have already completed their Portfolio of evidence however, many agents are still unclear about the new qualification for estate agents and the process of Recognition of Prior Learning. If you would like us to come and speak to you and all the agents in your office on this issue please do not hesitate to contact us.

It proceeds with an explanation of the Rental Housing Act and Unfair Practices Regulations, and continues with letting process from the time an owner of a property approaches an agent through to the tenant moving into the property.
