Applications are now open for the next Irish delivery of the CIH Certificate in Housing course beginning in January 2025.
The course is aimed at people working for a number of years in housing either at management level or hoping to move up to management level. It is also aimed at people working in housing who wish to gain a formal housing qualification having gained experience through working in the sector, and professionals wishing to make the move into the social housing sector. The course is a UK Level 4 which is equivalent to an Irish Level 6 on the NFQ which is Advanced or Higher Certificate level.
The course is delivered through blended learning – a combination of teaching days delivered through Zoom and self-directed learning supported by online resources.
The course brochure will be available in the coming days and the application form can be downloaded here. The application form is a pdf document.
