As an approved CIH provider, we are authorised to deliver recognised CIH qualifications such as:
• Level 4 Certificate in Housing
• Level 4 Housing & Property Management Apprenticeship (inc Level 4 Certificate)
These support housing and property professionals in developing the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to navigate and succeed in a sector that is becoming increasingly regulated.
For employers, this means greater confidence that your teams are learning through programmes that meet the standards of the UK’s professional body for housing and property; for learners, it means gaining qualifications that are recognised across the sector and are designed by housing professionals.
What is the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH)?
The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) is the professional body for people working within the housing and property sector. For decades, they have championed professional standards, supported housing organisations and developed qualifications that build rewarding careers, but also improve services for residents.
A CIH qualification is recognised throughout the UK housing industry and is developed in line with current legislation and professional standards. They are delivered exclusively through approved educational bodies that meet CIH’s quality assurance requirements, ensuring learners receive a consistent and high-quality learning experience.
What the CIH Means for Skills4Housing
Skills4Housing becoming a CIH-approved provider is more than an accreditation - it’s a reflection of our commitment to quality and professionalism.
As part of Skills4Group, Skills4Housing was established to help housing and property organisations develop competent, confident professionals through flexible, quality-assured learning. Our approval demonstrates that our delivery, learner support and quality processes meet the standards expected by the housing and property sector’s leading professional body.
What The CIH Means for Housing and Property Professionals
For employers, this means your housing officers, property managers, and tenancy advisors can study CIH-accredited qualifications without leaving their roles.
For learners, it means a qualification on your CV that is recognised by landlords, housing associations, and the Regulator of Social Housing.
