Onboarding Training and Assessment
At Affordable Staff, we aim for each team member to possess a robust understanding of administrative tasks but also have a deep appreciation and comprehension of Australian business practices and cultural nuances, ensuring they are exceptionally well-prepared to support their clients effectively. While this training starts with real estate, the skills acquired provide a comprehensive overview of general admin competencies, ensuring that trainees are versatile and capable of supporting a wide range of administrative tasks.

Affordable Staff understands that residential tenancy agreements vary by state, our basic training covers general principles across different locations in Australia, and we emphasise the importance of client-specific training to address unique requirements.

He is equipped with specialised knowledge and skills tailored to the Australian real estate industry. His training began with an introduction to the fundamentals of real estate in Australia, including viewing videos and reading articles to understand the market’s nuances. Practical exercises like processing property management tasks like invoices, lease agreements, and routine inspections are central to the curriculum.

These exercises familiarise him with common real estate procedures and hone their data entry and organisational skills, which are crucial for maintaining accurate records and managing properties efficiently.

Affordable Staff Tools Training
