This “course” may be sufficient for Strata Committees who want to learn more about how their Schemes are supposed to operate, but I have a couple of comments otherwise.
Firstly, throughout my working life I learnt that nothing’s free, and so I’m guessing that the Government has provided TAFE NSW with funding to cover the costs of providing the so called “course”, and as the only money that Governments have comes from direct and indirect taxes, that means we’re all paying.
Secondly, I’m continually amazed by the number of issues raised on this Forum concerning matters about which a properly educated Strata Manager should have been aware, and about matters where incorrect advice has been given by a Strata Manager who should know better.
Well now I know one of the answers……
If a person can complete a Government funded 3 day exam-free “course” and be then eligible for Registration as a Strata Manager, then even though they’re supposed to be working under the supervision of a fully licensed person, I’m afraid that the Department of Fair Trading is contributing to the further diminution of educational standards in NSW, in this case to the detriment of strata dwellers!
