UKALA Agents Foundation Course
UKALA via our partners the NLA runs a one-day course designed to assist agents to develop their professional skills with real value for money.
This one-day course outlines all you need to know from start to finish of a tenancy, the rights and responsibilities for your landlords and for you as an agent and the tenancy management required between tenant, landlord and lettings agent. It is the foundation level of knowledge required for agents to become accredited with UKALA.
Our courses focus on the main issues facing agents including:
– Agents Duties
– Lettings Law
– Health and safety in the workplace
– Client money protection
– Referencing and vetting tenants
– Setting up a tenancy
– Managing and ending a tenancy
– Common issues facing agents and landlords
Our programme offers an excellent opportunity to network with others including a trainer question and answer session. We provide expert trainers who are in the letting business or agents themselves, with real life stories and up to date content.
Benefits to becoming accredited include:
A quality mark with business advantages for tenants seeking good reputable agents. Reduced licence and HMO licence for your landlords and preferential services and access to grants in some local authority areas. A national scheme which offers greater consistency for all agents, landlords, tenants and councils to recognise.

Staff development in key to a successful business. Continued professional development is an excellent way for staff to improve their knowledge of the industry.
