The Housing Advice Training Programme course has been extensively reviewed. The revised course will feature new learning outcomes and coursework.

Belfast 11 September - 2 October 2013

Our best selling Housing Advice Training Programme is the must have foundational course for those working in housing.  We have significantly revised the format and content of this year’s programme to better meet the needs of practitioners.

The four day format will concentrate on key themes that will enable participants to obtain a qualification which enhances the skills and knowledge necessary to provide comprehensive housing advice.

Specifically the course will address the following topics:
•    Understanding housing options available for clients
•    Accessing various types of accommodation
o    Using homelessness legislation
o    Selection scheme
o    Private rented accommodation
•    Sustaining accommodation and affordability

The course will be of particular value to:
•    Generalist advice workers
•    NIHE & housing association staff
•    Hostel workers
•    Constituency office staff
•    Other statutory agencies such as Environmental Health Departments & Social    Services
•    Solicitors
•    Community/residents groups

Participants will attend training one day per week and also be required to complete some additional study hours and work based learning tasks such as case studies and research activities to build their portfolio of evidence.

To assist in achieving this, participants will have the support of the lead tutor and a specialist casework adviser.
