Clear workflows make property management easier. When tasks slip, communication breaks down, or a process depends on one person’s memory, everything feels harder than it should. It slows down your team, creates inconsistent experiences for residents and owners, and makes onboarding a new property management virtual assistant more complicated than it needs to be.
That’s why a strong system matters. And it’s exactly why the VPM Academy created a complete CRM management course series built around Aptly.
VPM now offers two new Aptly courses, Intro to Aptly and Advanced Aptly, designed to help you organize, automate, and simplify your daily operations. Each course is practical, approachable, and built specifically for the way property managers and virtual assistants work.
Why Aptly Training Matters More Than Ever
Property management teams rely on a mix of emails, spreadsheets, PM software, and internal communication tools. When these systems don’t connect, work becomes harder to track. This leads to repeated tasks, unclear responsibilities, and delays that frustrate teams and residents.
Aptly solves those challenges with a visual workflow and CRM system designed for property management. When your team understands how to use it the right way, you gain clarity, consistency, and structure across every process.
The new Aptly courses show users exactly how to build that structure.
What You’ll Learn in the Intro to Aptly Course
The Intro to Aptly course teaches the essential building blocks every user needs before creating or managing workflows. It helps students feel confident navigating the platform and understanding how Aptly fits into daily operations.
Core Skills Covered
The course guides learners through the fundamentals, enabling them to start using Aptly right away. After completing Intro to Aptly, students understand how to:
- Navigate Aptly’s interface and layout
- Build Boards to organize recurring processes
- Create stages and card templates that reduce guesswork
- Apply automations that keep tasks moving
- Track work clearly from start to finish
These skills give any property management course learner a strong operational foundation, especially if they plan to work as a property management virtual assistant.
What You’ll Learn in the Advanced Aptly Course
Once students understand the basics, the Advanced Aptly course helps them build more automated and efficient systems. This course is ideal for companies that want to scale and VAs who want to improve their technical skills.
Advanced Workflow and Automation Skills
Students learn how to design stronger, more complex workflows. They get hands-on training in how to:
- Use card sources to automatically create cards from PM software or other boards

- Create cross-board processes that remove manual work
- Strengthen visibility across teams and departments
By the end, users can build reliable systems that minimize mistakes and keep every process moving without constant oversight.
