WHY CHOOSE FIRST INVENTORY?
More Than Just An Inventory Clerk Training Course
There are courses that can teach you how to compile an inventory report.
The First Inventory online training course will help you do something much bigger
— build your own successful property inventory clerk business.
We will teach you how to do the job professionally, but we don’t stop there.
You will also learn how to set up your business, find potential customers, market your services, secure bookings, price your work,
manage your business and develop a valuable base of repeat customers.
And when you have completed the training, we don’t simply say goodbye and leave you to work everything out for yourself.
You will have unlimited access to help, support and mentoring as you put what you have learned into practice and begin building your business.
Because learning how to compile an inventory report is only part of the journey.
We want to help you turn that knowledge into a successful business.
🏠 Learn From People Who Have Actually Done It
When you are learning how to start and run a property inventory clerk business, who you learn from matters.
First Inventory isn’t simply a training company teaching the theory of how an inventory business should work.
We have run our own property inventory clerk business since 2005.
We have dealt with real letting agents, landlords and tenants. We have carried out thousands of inventory inspections, check-ins, midterm inspections and check-outs, produced professional reports, secured customers, dealt with bookings and built long-term relationships with letting agents and property professionals.
We know what it’s like to start with no customer base and build a business from the ground up.
🎓 Real Business Experience Behind Your Training
Everything we teach has been developed from real experience of working in the industry and running the business ourselves.
We understand the practical side of being an inventory clerk — but just as importantly, we understand the business side.
How do you get your first customers?
How do you persuade a letting agent to try your service?
How do you turn that first booking into repeat business?
How should you price your services?
What happens when you are busy?
How do you deal professionally with customers when something goes wrong?
These are things you learn from actually running the business — not simply by reading about it.
💡 We Have Made The Journey You Are About To Make
When we started our own inventory business, we had to learn how to do the job, establish the business, find customers and build our reputation.
Over the years, we have learned what works, what doesn’t and what we would do differently if we were starting again today.
And that’s the experience we can now pass on to you.
Our aim is not simply to teach you the theory.
We want to help you benefit from more than 20 years of real-world inventory business experience — so you don’t have to work everything out for yourself.

💻 Our Training Has Evolved
When we first started training inventory clerks in 2009, our courses were delivered face-to-face.
Over the years, we have continually developed and improved our training, drawing on both our experience of teaching new inventory clerks and the day-to-day experience of running our own inventory business.
Today, that experience has been brought together into our unique online training programme — allowing you to learn at your own pace, wherever you are in the UK.
The way we deliver the training may have evolved — but the real-world experience behind it hasn’t.
🤝 You Will Not Be Left On Your Own
Completing the course is only the start of your journey — and we will be here to help you afterwards.
Starting any new business can bring questions that you simply cannot anticipate while you are training.
You may want advice before approaching your first letting agent. You might need help pricing an unusual property, dealing with a difficult situation or deciding how to handle something you have encountered during an inspection.
That is why our support does not end when you finish the course.
You will continue to have access to our help, support and mentoring as you start, run and grow your inventory business.
And when you contact us, you are not speaking to someone who has simply been trained to answer course questions.
You are speaking to people who have been running their own highly successful inventory business for over 20 years.

🧭 A Clear Step-By-Step Plan To Get You Started

There can seem to be a lot to think about — learning the job, setting up your business, choosing your equipment and software, finding customers, deciding what to charge and getting those all-important first bookings.
That is why we don’t simply give you the information and leave you to work out what to do next.
Our training takes you through the process in a clear, logical order, with practical guidance to help you move from learning the job to setting up and successfully launching your own inventory business.

🏡 Learn From People Who Actually Run An Inventory Business
There is a big difference between learning from someone who teaches inventory courses and learning from people who actually run their own highly successful inventory business.
We have been running our own property inventory business since 2005, working with letting agents, landlords and tenants and producing inventories, check-ins, midterm inspections and check-out reports.
That means the training we give you is based on real-world experience — not just theory.
We know what it takes to do the job professionally, get customers, deal with the everyday challenges of running the business and turn those first bookings into regular repeat work.
Remember, you are learning from people who actually have run their own highly successful inventory business for over twenty years.
🏡 RUNNING OUR OWN INVENTORY BUSINESS SINCE 2005 • 20+ YEARS’ REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE • TRAINING BASED ON REAL EXPERIENCE
🤝 FREE Back-Up, Support & Mentoring Included
Completing your training is only the beginning.
For many people, it’s when they start putting everything into practice that the questions really begin.
You might be preparing for your first inventory inspection and want to check something.
You might have produced your first report and want some reassurance that you’re doing it correctly.
You might be approaching your first letting agent and need some advice.
Or perhaps you have secured your first customer — and suddenly have a question you hadn’t even thought about during the training.
That is why our help and support doesn’t end when you finish the course.
📞 Help When You Actually Need It
When you are starting something new, sometimes you don’t need another training lesson.
You just need to be able to ask someone a question.
With First Inventory, you will have ongoing access to people who understand both the practical job of being an inventory clerk and what it’s like to run the business.
Whether you need help with an inventory, a report, a customer, your marketing or simply want to talk something through, we’re here to help.
🚀 Support As Your Business Develops
Our support isn’t only there while you are getting started.
As your business develops, the questions you have are likely to change.
Your first question might be:
“How do I get my first customer?”
Later it might become:
“I’ve got more bookings than I can handle — what should I do next?”
And that’s exactly why ongoing mentoring can be so valuable.
You can continue to come back to us for help, advice and guidance as your experience, customer base and business grow.
