Landlord Accreditation Scotland
Mid Market Rent Compliance Programme
This programme is designed to help MMR providers understand the relevance of the Letting Agent Code of Practice to their roles. It also covers relevant legislation and some of the issues that can occur during and after tenancies.
Completed as a set, the modules will fulfil the complete Scottish Government requirement for formal CPD for qualified staff managing PRS tenancies. The modules can also be completed independently as ongoing development to suit your teams’ needs.
How our Mid-Market Rent Compliance Programme works
There are seven modules in the programme which are delivered virtually and can be done in any order. They have been put together considering the different roles undertaken by staff. Each module covers an area or areas of the Letting Agent Code of Practice in detail tying in the requirement for every organisation in Scotland carrying out letting agency work in Scotland to have qualified staff undertaking CPD.
There is no requirement to complete every module, however many senior managers who have already completed the programme have said that they feel their qualified staff will benefit from attending every session. There is no time limit for completion of the programme, you can work through these at your own pace.
Each module will be delivered over two webinars to allow enough time to cover all the required topics. We want to make sure you come away from webinars with more refined practical skills than when you started, and to achieve this, there will be both ‘listening & doing’ activities as the best way to learn is through practice.
