Our aim is to help develop Asset Management skills within the housing sector which, in turn, will help organisations take on the tough challenges they currently face within the sector.
We want to contribute to the building of more confident communities that put tenants first, including the construction of affordable and fit for purpose housing. We aim to do this do this by providing access to Asset Management learning to those working within housing.
Employees working within the sector need to understand the benefits of taking a whole life cycle approach to how they build, maintain and dispose of the properties.
To help you with the many ongoing Asset Management challenges throughout the housing sector, we offer a specifically designed Certificate Course. Completing our endorsed Course will fully prepare you to pass the Institute of Asset Management Certificate Examination.
Our recently released video explains how this Course can make a difference to your employees and your organisation.
Our new video is created by ourselves and Complex Asset Management Solutions (CAMS).

There are a few key factors impacting how housing organisations operate that require a better approach to Asset Management. Our training courses will empower you to handle such challenges.

Condition of homes
The living conditions in homes is important to customers and the reputation of the social landlord. It should also match the organisations standard of quality. For example, adding the ISO 55001 standard as a framework for Asset Management you will be able to:
