In-house learning

"In an industry sector where competition is intense and standards are already high, Levande is determined to set itself apart and be a leader in retirement living. We have committed to offering all our Village Leaders, as well as our Assistant Village Managers, the opportunity to complete the Diploma. At Levande we believe that investing in our people is at the heart of successful villages.

The Diploma means that whether they're experienced operators or have come to retirement from a different professional background, our leaders have a solid practical and theoretical understanding of the retirement industry, they're well-versed in the legal aspects, and even have the opportunity to extend their careers into other areas of retirement living. Being able to offer a formal qualification recognised across the industry makes Levande even more attractive as an employer.

We found the Retirement Living Property Council team very flexible in providing materials customised to our Levande growth trajectory, and our participants found the program engaging and interactive. To date, over 50 of our people have graduated, and we will continue to offer a course each year."

"Working with the Australian Property Council to deliver customised training solutions to our team and network has been a valuable and worthwhile experience. Recently, the team at Property Council Academy worked with us to deliver Operations and Facilities Management Part 1, providing industry-relevant content, access to subject matter experts, a professional training coordination team, and a program that was flexible and could be tailored to meet our needs. We look forward to working with Property Council Academy on more in-house training solutions in the future."

"Participating in the Operations & Facilities Management Industry Diploma was one of the most satisfactory learning experiences I have had.

At the property council this course covered the appropriate industrial knowledge and training, which helped develop my skills and provide me the resources to utilise in my day-to-day role. Thie course taught me about traits in myself that I can now apply to my leadership. I gained valuable skill's and great reference material. I am happy to recommend others to join this course."

"Thank you for your guidance, assistance and encouragement during our recent Operations and Facilities Management Academy course.

It was certainly most enjoyable, we all learnt a lot, made great acquaintances and had some laughs.

I certainly look forward to using a lot of this knowledge in my current and future work career.

"I had the pleasure of arranging a training session with the Property Council Academy on Navigating the Retirement Villages Act for various team members with a range of experience in the industry and was beyond impressed. The training was exceptionally well-organised, engaging, and tailored to our team's needs. The instructor's expertise and ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, accessible way made all the difference. I highly recommend Property Council Academy for anyone seeking high-quality training programs."
