TAROE launch innovative partnership with the Housing e-Academy
Virtual College's Housing e-Academy has announced a new e-learning partnership with TAROE, the national tenants and residents’ representative body for England.
TAROE, the national tenants and residents’ representative body for England, has teamed up with the Housing e-Academy to promote and drive forward learning and best practice across the housing sector.
The e-Academy, based in Ilkley and a standalone division of online training pioneer Virtual College, offers an alternative way of learning to traditional face-to-face methods by providing access to specially developed online resources.
This approach removes geographical barriers to learning by providing individual training records, e-learning modules, online assessment and evaluation tools that are accessed via the Internet, therefore enabling learners to study in ways and at times that suit them, while ensuring that the quality and consistency of training is maintained.
Commenting on the new partnership, Michael Gelling, Chair of TAROE, stated:
“We welcome this innovative partnership with the Housing e-Academy, which we believe can be used to drive up knowledge and skills across the sector for tenants and housing staff. The Tenant Plus package offers tenants a great opportunity to build their skills and put them ahead of the game when applying for employment.
“We are looking forward to working with the Housing e-Academy to develop similar products that will give tenants the skills and knowledge to play an active and empowered role in shaping their landlords’ services and holding them to account.
“We are also pleased to announce that all TAROE members and Friends of TAROE organisations will benefit from a generous discount when purchasing products from the Housing e-Academy.”
Speaking on the launch of the partnership, Chloe Weatherhead, Housing e-Academy Manager commented:
“We are really excited about working with TAROE to ensure that we can develop products that are of benefit to tenants and which provide a valuable resource within a dynamic and rapidly changing housing environment.”
