Leading software provider releases the next phase of training for property and inspection report providers

Inventory Base Academy has provided training resources and CPD accredited courses since 2019.

Delivering accessible, relevant and unrivalled support and training to inventory clerks and property professionals, Inventory Base Academy has developed a supportive learning environment to enable the continued development and standardisation of the reporting industry.

As part of their commitment to up-skill providers, their latest course “The Inventrepreneur – How To Start Your Own Inventory Business” has now been released.

With an ever changing and fast paced property market, compliance dominates the rental sector. This includes increased legislative oversight such as the recently announced Decent Home Standard,  the changes to the law governing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that bring the social housing sector into scope and the impending changes that will see Section 21 removed.

Inventory training has to respond to these challenges by delivering on key learning points that not only protect the landlord’s assets and the tenants deposit, with detailed and consistent reporting, but equally supports the agent’s own service delivery.

The new course is aimed at helping both new and experienced inventory providers to understand the required business processes and acumen behind their service with vital and active support built in. 

With over 70 lessons, information points and topics, the self-paced home study material covers:

  • The Lettings Industry Landscape
  • Marketing to Landlords, Agents & Tenants
  • Sales Forecasting & Pricing Reports
  • Social Marketing & Branding
  • Business Structure
  • Continuous Professional Development
  • Becoming a Successful Inventrepreneuer

It provides not only the legal requirements of running a successful business, it teaches providers how to create the right impression when developing leads, how to get the most out of their social media presence and build the framework that will start their service business off on the front foot.

Sián Hemming-Metcalfe, Head of Training and Development for Inventory Base Academy said:

“It’s clear for all to see – the property market is changing and at an extremely rapid pace. Whether you agree or not, the Government is intent on implementing what it sees as improvements to ensure tenant safety and hold the PRS even more to account. 

The launch of the levelling up plan, removal of Section 21 and a national landlord register are yet more examples of the type of legislation the rental sector is now expected to implement and manage. 

We want to help providers grasp the opportunity to build and support their client base by supporting them to respond to these challenges. 

By equipping themselves with the know-how to structure their own businesses, clerks and budding Inventrepreneurs can develop key skills, increase their knowledge base and actively engage with the property industry.

Ultimately, the aim is to build a better understanding of the benefits of inventory and property related reports and help providers instil landlords and letting agents with the confidence to commission their services. 

This much needed training, support, advice and guidance is just one of the benefits of training with Inventory Base Academy”.
