Landlord Accreditation Scotland
Leaders in Letting
The Leaders in Letting programme is specifically designed for letting agency owners and senior managers operating in Scotland.
This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme focuses on staying compliant with regulations and improving operational practice.
The programme comprises a mixture of 30 and 60 minute sessions which provide a total of 5 hours of formal CPD if all sessions are attended. It recognises that agency owners and managers are often short of time and do not necessarily need to review topics that are day-to-day practice matters within the agency. The topics in this CPD programme provide an opportunity for senior management to review working practice within their agencies.
