“Completing the apprenticeship has helped me progress” – Chelsea's story | News

At The Learning Foundry, we are privileged to welcome talented, passionate housing professionals who join us to take the next step in their career.  

Chelsea has worked in housing for 8 and a half years, working at Regenda Homes for nearly 5 years as a Housing Officer before being promoted to Senior Housing Officer.   

We caught up with Chelsea who’s recently completed her Senior Housing and Property Management Apprenticeship , and achieved her CIH Level 4 in Housing Qualification:  

“Completing the apprenticeship has helped my career”  

“ I t has increased my employability and ability to stand out . Since starting the programme , I’ve progressed in my job role from Housing Officer to Senior Housing Officer. ”  

“Completing the apprenticeship developed my confidence.”  

“ I knew that I had learnt the right skills , knowledge and behaviours to move into a new role . It has also developed my organisation and time management skills as I had to manage juggling a promotion into my new role while studying. ”  

“The information that I learnt on the course was relevant and useful to my job role.”

“ It made me more aware and gave me a deeper understand ing why we do what we do . I learned more about the background of housing, and the current housing crisis affecting the sector.”  

“I’m proud of finishing the apprenticeship and achieving my CIH Level 4 in Housing Qualification.”  

“ Although it was a stressful time, I pushed through and completed it! ”    

“I really enjoyed learning with The Learning Foundry!”  

“ The best bit about learning with TLF is the people – the team is so lovely , friendly and approachable . My development coach, Claire, was really supportive , giving me that push to get everything completed towards the end of the course. It’s different to other training I’ve done in the past and I found it much better learning things in person with TLF rather than just behind a screen. ”  

"I would definitely recommend TLF, I’ve already recommended TLF to my 16-year-old sister about an apprenticeship in the future! The people at TLF are very helpful and friendly , the campus is really nice to go and sit and do your work. I would definitely do another qualification with The Learning Foundry!"

Well done, Chelsea!
