SHN offer a range of modular training courses, designed for those new to sheltered housing and for staff wishing to develop their professional skills and expand their knowledge of sheltered housing further.  

All courses consist of a number of modules covering a specific area of practice that is relevant to sheltered housing.  Each module can also be studied as an individual learning pack. 

Reasons and Benefits of studying with SHN

Courses are delivered through a flexible open learning programme, which allows you to choose to study by distance learning or by attending study blocks at regional study centres, giving you the opportunity to study in a way that best suits your individual requirements.

If you choose to study a full course, you will be provided with structured tutorial time at the commencement of each module of study to give you clear guidance and an opportunity to clarify any points that you are unsure of regarding the course or studies in general. 

There is an on-line support service as well as telephone tutorial support throughout the course.

You will be informed of the results of assignments within 5 working days of the submission date either by e-mail, text messaging or post (whichever the student prefers). 

The curriculum is designed to ensure that content is relevant and topical, covering current and future issues related to sheltered housing, control centres and other allied professions.

You will have the opportunity to attend additional study days on a range of relevant topics at any regional training centre at 25% reduction of the normal cost.
