Guide for Housing Officer
This guide summarises the CPD and revalidation framework that typically applies to Housing Officer at Housing Associations. Rules change; use official sources on the calculator for definitive requirements.
What applies to Housing Officer?
As Housing Officer at Housing Associations, continuing professional development is usually governed by Employer / Chartered Institute of Housing. The summary below is taken from published guidance for Housing association CPD. Always confirm current rules on the regulator's website and with your employer.
Key requirements for Housing Officer
Housing roles follow employer appraisal, compliance training (tenancy law, safeguarding, health and safety) and optional professional development. If you are not a CIH Chartered Member, there is no single national CPD hours quota; expectations depend on your employer and role. CIH Chartered Members (CIHCM) must complete at least 20 hours of CPD a year, and CIH's code of conduct expects all members to do at least 20 hours each calendar year.
What to use on this page
The calculator shows the framework that typically applies to Housing Officer, bullet points from official sources, and links to read the full rules.
