UK Training Industry Press Releases

The Housing e-Academy, which is driving forward adoption of e-learning within the UK housing sector, is celebrating the success of a flagship tenant training pilot project in Lancashire.

Working in partnership with the north-west region of national housing provider, Accent Group Ltd, the Housing e-Academy has delivered online training designed to equip a group of tenants in Burnley with new skills to help them improve both the quality of their lives and employment prospects.

Ten Accent tenants who volunteered to participate in the pilot project were given free Internet access at local community centres and housing offices to three online courses - Fire Safety, Introduction to Health & Safety, and Manual Handling. They have now been presented with certificates after successfully completing the courses.

Resident Imran Mushtaq, a member of the pilot group, said: " The e-learning modules were very easy to do and could also be completed very quickly. I am convinced the courses will help me find a new, better job."
