Landlords Training & Education

---

The IPOA pursue a vigorous policy of providing educational and training opportunities for both staff and members. Twice yearly in Dublin and Cork the members are invited to information sessions updating them on developments in such matters as the PRTB and the RAS Scheme. Guests speakers are invited to make presentations on matters including finance and law.

During 2006 several members were trained under the new IPOA Advocacy Scheme. They learned advocacy skills and have graduated to become advocates for dispute resolution under the Private Residential Tenancies Act.

The IPOA held their first  conference on 17th October 2006. Entitled the Green House Sessions, it  provided a detailed analysis of the energy crisis and how it will impact on Irish Property Owners. Designed by the IPOA in consultation with acclaimed architect and tv presenter Duncan Stewart it provided an invaluable insight into what measures you must take to comply with regulations and how to save money doing so. Further information can be found later in this site or on request from the office.

In addition the IPOA's on site Conference and Training Centre was opened by Minister Brian Lenihan in December 2005. A state of the art facility the centre is used for meetings, training sessions, exhibitions and classes and is open for use by all members.
