My main project at the moment (apart from promoting the Conference) is still the Insurance mini-course which is getting nearer to completion – in fact, I am hoping it can go live some time this week.
The actual course itself is now done so it’s doing all the extra things like the information page, setting up the course software (it is being hosted on this blog so will use the ‘rainmaker platform’ learning management system) and doing the emails.
I’m also liaising with Alan Boswell Group staff – as the course is in association with them, they have to be happy with it!
A lot of work, but I think when it is finally there, most landlords will find it very useful indeed.
