 Are you interested in the workings of or a career in housing, if so the following course is available for you:
The CIH Level 2 Certificate in Housing is an introductory vocational qualification for the housing sector, which is equivalent/comparable to a GCSE (grades A-C) or an NVQ Level 2.
Aims of the course:
- To provide you with a basic understanding of housing.
- To introduce some of the skills and knowledge necessary to participate in housing related activities whether paid or voluntary.
- To prepare you for future study. You may progress to the CIH Level 3 Award in Housing or the CIH Level 3 National Certificate in Housing.
I have been a Member of the London Resident Consultative Committee since it was formed eight years ago. I wanted to take the course as I’m interested in a career in housing. I am also a Regional Committee and Residents Quality Panel Member. I received a merit mark for the course.

Resources:
- You will be supported by a tutor throughout the duration of the programme. Professional development staff of CIH will be available to provide additional study support as needed.
- An important source of study support will be your entitlement to student membership of CIH. You will be in receipt of a wealth of topical housing information that will support your studies, for example the weekly CIH ezine, the weekly housing news journal, Inside Housing, free book - Introducing Social Housing etc.
There are also enormous amounts of information available through the CIH websites that will provide more than sufficient resources to support Level 2 study.
- On successful completion of the course you will receive the Chartered Institute of Housing Level 2 Certificate in Housing.
 Structure:
I got involved around three years ago by sitting on the London Resident Consultative Committee and decided to take the course to increase my knowledge on Housing. Since then I’ve built my confidence in public speaking, am now a Regional Committee Member and Vice Chair of the Residents Quality Panel and Value for Money. I received a distinction mark for the course.
