New students for Housing e-Academy

by Ethos public relations

Housing e-Academy, part of Ilkley based Virtual College has recently won new contracts across the UK.

The Housing e-Academy drives forward adoption of e-learning within the social housing sector and its increasing membership is made up of individuals and organisations that work within, or provide support, for the sector.

In the last month Nottingham City Homes, First Choice Homes Oldham, North East based Home Group and Severn Vale Housing Society have joined the 360,000 customers already working with Housing e-Academy in contracts worth around £25,000 pa.

Head of Housing e-Academy Chloe Weatherhead said:  “As many sectors face cuts to their non core business budgets, many companies are recogising the value of e-learning compared to expensive traditional face to face training techniques.

“Geographical restrictions are removed and learners can access their training at a pace, place and time to suit them which is why e-learning is proving to be so popular.”

The number of learners using Housing e-Academy products increased from 7,543 in July to 12,087 in August.

Virtual College has harnessed specific markets by evolving a portfolio of e-Academies in  the housing, healthcare, safeguarding children, food and drink, and trades sectors –together offering over 100 online courses.
