    Hello Tim
    You are absolutely right – this is for registered providers and I am not sure if it has been implemented yet. The act of parliament (2023) allows the regulator to impose the requirements but does not compel the regulator to do so:

    Hello Tina,
    This is really interesting. Can you point me to where this is written.

    The progression, according to CIH would have to be
    Level 4 – same as a first year undergraduate degree – 12 months, with an average of eight hours study a week – £2100
    Level 3 – Prerequisite to level 4 – 37-48 weeks, with an average of eight hours study a week. – £1750
    Level 2 – Prerequisite to level 3 – 16 weeks, with an average of six-eight hours study a week – £700

    https://www.cih.org/housing-academy-qualifications/cih-level-4-certificate-in-housing/

    One would need to train at least 2 people in case one leaves / retires etc.

    I think this will finish off a number of charities ifit is a mandatory requirement. I hope that this is a horrible mistake or misunderstandiong.

    I will be writing to our MP as soon as I discover where it is written that this is mandatory.

    What is the view of the Almshouse Association?

    regards
    Christian

    Hello Paul,
    We too are concerned and it is one of the reasons we have not opted into the Ombudsman Scheme. A level 3/4 qualification requires 360 hours of training (45 solid days) according to CIH.
