Here at learning4housing we pride ourselves in keeping our training courses up to date. With new initiatives and policies being announced almost on a daily basis, this can be something of a challenge.

The new courses that are being developed developed include the following:

    • What are the barriers and potential problems?
    • What about leadership and strategy?
  • Tenancy management and law
    • What will the new 'fixed term' tenancy mean for you and your tenants?

    • How will transfer applicants be treated?
    • What extra demands will be placed on front-line staff?
    • What about other rights of secure and assured tenants?
