Running a better rooming house: A best practice handbook for operators.

Members will have received the fourth edition of “Running a better rooming house” or will have read it in the Programs section of the RAAV website. 

We have now produced six E-Learning modules based on the manual as an alternative way to receive this important information. It also means that we can update the information quickly and easily when required. 

Members will be able to go through the modules at their own pace and as often as they like from the Members section of the website.

 If you are not a member you can get a taste of these training modules with the first two made available to non-members. 

Try them out and if you would like to access all of the rest simply join RAAV by hitting the Members button.
