The compulsory NSW strata training program launched this morning and it’s just tricky enough to make it challenging as well as informative.

I completed mine today as well, after watching the webinar with Angus Abedee.

I like that other courses will be made available in the future.

The training was informative and anyone starting out will find it useful.

One thing I’d avoid doing is posting the certificate online with the UID visible.

Hi Jimmy,

I’m afraid I hit a brick wall at the first hurdle.

The ridiculous requirement that I create a 10 digit password was it for me.  I don’t know why such a Mossad level of security is required for a simple compliance measure, but I simply refuse to comply with such nonsense.

I called Fair Trading and had a long conversation with a sympathetic assistant,  but she assured me that despite lengthy debates within DFT, they aren’t going to do a paper version of this training course.

I made the point that many people on Strata Committees are of the older demographic, and some with fewer computer skills than others. She agreed.

As it is, we’ve already had one 74yo lady resign from the Committee over this, and I won’t be re-nominating at the upcoming AGM.   And as someone who actively interacts with everyone in our Strata,  nobody else is interested in Committee work.

In my opinion this is probably the worst thought-out policy decision of this government.

Good point.  Now redacted but it did make me wonder if slack committee members will just spend 5 minutes cloning others’ certificates rather than spending an hour on the website.  After all, it’s only the committee secretaries who will be checking.
