For Landlords

Accreditation is an excellent way for responsible landlords to improve their knowledge of the sector as well as verifiably promote your services as a good landlord to tenants.

NLA Accreditation offers a structured approach to your development as a landlord and you can utilise the courses at your own convenience. The courses can be completed online via our landlord library or via the many attendance based courses that we facilitate throughout the country.

To achieve accredited status landlords must first complete the NLA Foundation Course. This can be completed by attending a one day course or by completing all the core subjects that can be found on the NLA Landlord Library.

The NLA Accreditation Scheme will also "passport" landlords who have already completed other development based accreditation schemes such as LAS, MLAS and WLAS, directly onto our scheme on the premise that they sign up to the scheme going forward via the scheme rules. You will not be required to do another foundation course if you have completed one in the last five years from one of the above noted schemes.

To maintain accredited status, landlords must complete ten hours of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for every twelve months that you are accredited. The foundation course is the beginning of the landlord development, and gives you eight CPD hours.

CPD can be kept updated via the landlord library or by attending local authority events as well as NLA branch meetings etc. The landlord library will act as a log for all CPD and you can add to it manually so that your attendance at these events is logged.

Our online register of members will allow others to verify that you are a member of the NLA.
