Students receive a completion certificate for fair housing training.
Maintenance Training
The Rental Housing Association of Sacramento Valley offers maintenance training for both new and seasoned employees. These “How-to” maintenance classes are taught by skilled professionals. Such education trains maintenance employees and rental owners to perform basic maintenance duties at apartments, single-family homes, condos, duplexes, and other types of rental housing.
Each class focuses upon a specific subject. For each subject, students will learn how to identify basic parts, how they operate, and how to troubleshoot common problems. Participants can apply what they learn quickly, and the savings in maintenance costs will more than pay for the cost of training.
