COVID-19 Prepare Your AGENCY for the new normal.

Government funding for this initiative is now ending

There are few industries who have as much contact with the general public as you do in Real Estate. 

The New South Wales and Commonwealth governments have announced the final round of funding for Infection Prevention and Control training and certification. Registrations are a first-in-first-served basis. Registrations are open until 16th February, this will put you in the queue for a fully funded placement. Registrations after this date may be successful, dependent on surplus allocations.

This training gives your agency staff a nationally recognised qualification and will have been trained to the highest standard. This training manages risk for your agency, with both staff and customers, should they be implicated in an outbreak.
