eLearning for housing officers, social workers and housing advisers

eCom are delighted to have worked with Shelter Scotland’s Commercial Training Team on this important resource for housing officers, social workers and housing advisers. The course has 7 modules covering information such as who is subject to immigration control, who can claim public funds and the rights of family members of qualified persons. Knowledge and application is tested throughout the course using self-assessment. With the insight gained, housing professionals are better able to identify a client's circumstances, provide advice and direct them to further sources of help.
