The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) for Northern Ireland has entered a new partnership with tenancy deposit protection scheme TDS Northern Ireland to support landlord training.
TDS Northern Ireland will financially support a group of private landlords in the country to undertake the CIH Level 2 Award in Letting and Managing Residential Property.
This will allow landlords to enrol in the qualification for £71, avoiding the usual rate of £775.
The 12-week online course covers everything to do with managing rental properties, from tenancy law to providing better services to tenants.
“We are delighted to partner with TDS Northern Ireland on this important initiative. The CIH Level 2 Award is a valuable qualification for any landlord who wants to improve their property management practices and ensure that their tenants have a positive experience,” said Justin Cartwright, national director at CIH Northern Ireland.
“We encourage landlords to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their professional development.”
Eamonn Hunt, head of TDS Northern Ireland, added: “By supporting landlords to gain the necessary qualifications, we are helping to raise standards and improve the quality of rental accommodation available to tenants. We are proud to partner with CIH Northern Ireland on this initiative."
