Engagement process description

Cardiff Council and Rent Smart Wales are undertaking a market engagement exercise to gauge the level of interest from potential training providers who may be able to deliver classroom-based training to landlords and agents across Wales in line with Rent Smart Wales requirements.

This is an opportunity for us to understand the capacity within the market to deliver training through classroom and home-based sessions, with flexibility to accommodate both weekday and evening delivery.
