The brief

Aster seeks to appoint qualified Providers to deliver CIH-recognised housing qualifications at Level 4, Level 5, and associated top-up modules.

These qualifications are aligned with the Competence and Conduct Standard under the Social Housing Regulation Act 2023.

The Social Housing Regulation Act, 2023, mandates that all “relevant managers” defined as senior housing executives and senior housing managers must hold or be actively working toward (within a three-year transition period) professional qualifications that meet the Institute for Apprenticeship and Technical Education (IATE) occupational standards for Senior Housing and Property Management.

Specifically: •Senior Housing Executives: Foundation Degree in Housing (CIH) or Level 5 Diploma •Senior Housing Managers: Level 4 Certificate in Housing To meet these requirements, Aster proposes establishing a Flexible Framework (under Light Touch Regime) of approved training providers capable of delivering CIH-approved qualifications at scale, on demand, and through diverse pathways.

This approach ensures adaptability to individual learning needs and organizational priorities.
