Welcome to TLA Academy — the official learning hub from The Landlord Association. The new TLA Certified Landlord Programme brings your training, modules and certification pathway together in one structured course experience.
The academy now centres around the TLA Certified Landlord Programme, giving members a clear place to begin, a curriculum to follow and a more professional route towards certification.
The TLA Certified Landlord Programme gives members a clearer way to enter the academy, move through the curriculum and understand exactly where the modules fit within the broader certification journey.
Members can now start from one core course page and move through the modules in a more connected and professional way.
Each module helps landlords build confidence around legal duties, standards, documentation and risk reduction.
The course-led setup supports a clearer route towards completion, recognition and future accreditation outcomes.
The full course now lives inside the new programme page, giving members a central home for the training pathway while still allowing you to showcase the module structure here on the academy homepage.
This is now the primary course entry point for the academy. Use it as the main destination for members to access the new training structure, work through the modules and move towards certification.
