After concentrating on the development of the Social Housing Compass course and various management courses in 2005, this year we will develop and launch several specific social housing courses, covering a range of topical issues.
We will be developing those courses with professional trainers who are already delivering their special knowledge and expertise via 'traditional' courses. Over the next few months you will be able to read more about the new courses - and meet our expert course developers & trainers in The LearnHousing Connection.
We are delighted to introduce you to Karen Trippier ... please read on to find out more.
