The Housing e-Academy has been described by the Audit Commission as an “Innovative Best Practice Club”, and many housing organisations, both in the UK and abroad, have already seen the benefits: Incommunities, East North East Homes (Leeds), Sadeh Lok Housing Association, Freebridge Community Housing Trust, and the Malta Housing Authority, to name but a few.

Dutton Dodd Consultants is an Accredited Centre to deliver professional Housing Courses for the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), as well as Leadership and Management Courses for the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM). These are offered using a variety of methods, but we find “blended learning” the most effective. This involves face to face workshops - delivered at the place of work, a local college, or another appropriate venue - combined with online e-learning and tutor support via the Housing e-Academy. This method of delivery has proved extremely popular and successful: cost-effective to the organisation and supportive to the learner.
