Priority access: Housing & Property Management Level 3 — now open for starts

A quick update for our partners

Our Level 3 Housing & Property Management apprenticeship is open again for new starts and we’re offering priority booking for existing employers.

Why this matters now

Recent PRS and Renters’ Rights changes mean frontline staff must be confident with written information duties, tenancy records and practical casework — gaps that increase compliance risk and tenant churn. Training current staff through an 18month Level 3 keeps knowledge inhouse, reduces recruitment cost and helps you demonstrate regulatory readiness.

What we deliver for your team

  • Practical capability: handling enquiries, complaints and vulnerability assessments so tenants stay housed and issues are resolved more quickly. 
  • Compliance confidence: clear applied training on tenancy law, safety checks and approved codes of practice. 
  • Immediate workplace outputs: evidence portfolio and a workbased project that deliver operational improvements during the programme. 
  • Professional recognition: optional Propertymark modules and the first year of ARLA membership (where applicable) to strengthen public and landlord confidence. 

Operational snapshot

  • Duration: 18 months onprogramme plus End Point Assessment. Delivery: fully remote — 1:1 tutor support, group workshops and online learning aligned to DfE requirements. Assessment: portfolio, project and professional discussion (no written exams). 

Commercial note for managers

To secure a place you’ll need to confirm role suitability and commit agreed offthejob time; managers also join progress reviews at least every 10 weeks to protect completion rates. These steps materially improve starts-to-completion and the value you get from the apprenticeship. 

How to secure priority access

We’re offering priority booking to existing partners for a short window before places move to the general waiting list. To reserve a place you can: 

Recent success story 

One of our recent HPM3 learners, Tanya Kirk, completed the apprenticeship while working full time and found the programme flexible, well organised and directly relevant to her day-to-day role. She said the support from her tutor was a real help, especially when adapting to changes at work, and that the apprenticeship improved her confidence in handling housing legislation, compliance and customer queries
