Background
From May 25th 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will form the new standard by which landlords and agents deal with sensitive personal information for their tenants and clients. It replaces the Data Protection Act and introduces a number of significant changes to the way you should be processing personal information.
This training course qualifies for 1 continuous professional development (CPD) point which can help towards or maintain your accreditation with the NRLA. If you are interested in becoming an accredited landlord with the NRLA, CPD points are necessary to achieve that status.
