Upskilling for Commercial Property Managers
A Full Day Practical Workshop for Commercial Property Professionals
Commercial property management isn't something most people are formally taught.
Many practitioners find themselves managing leases, legislation, compliance, rent reviews, outgoings, Essential Safety Measures, insurance, inspections and tenant issues long before they've received structured commercial property training.
This workshop is designed to change that.
Join the Australian Academy of Property for a practical, full day workshop developed specifically for commercial property professionals who want to strengthen their knowledge, reduce risk and build greater confidence managing commercial property.
Led by experienced industry practitioners and specialist presenters, the program combines practical presentations, real-world examples, case studies and current industry issues across the commercial property management lifecycle.
Rather than focusing on theory, this workshop explores how commercial property management works in practice, providing practical systems, processes and decision making frameworks that can be applied immediately within your agency.
Whether you manage office, retail, industrial or mixed portfolios, you'll leave with practical knowledge designed to support better outcomes for landlords, tenants and your agency.

• Current industry issues affecting commercial property management
• Commercial lease administration and lease obligations
