How can I learn Yardi?

[Chris L.]

I'm applying for various Leasing Administrator and Assistant Property Manager roles, although it's a slight career switch from my normal day job as an executive assistant. (I also have experience as a sales manager and as a real estate agent, so I'm confident I can make the switch). I noticed that many positions request experience with Yardi or similar software, and I want to get my resume noticed. But Yardi won't teach individuals how to use the software unless they work for a company that purchased Yardi. And all the Yardi Youtube tutorials have been blocked for the public. 

Is there a way to learn Yardi, maybe through a tutor? I know I'm not the only one looking for this, a recent Google search turned up someone on craigslist looking for a Yardi tutor.

Suggestions?

I am not sure I understand the strategy of a company creating software and not wanting anyone who wanted to learn it learn; even if it was training you could pay for. 

Guess this is why I am not paid the big bucks ;)
