    Retrofit Essentials: Online

    From 2022 to 2023, SHRA ran an eight-week online Retrofit Essentials course, a CPD-accredited learning programme designed to provide social housing professionals with the essential knowledge needed to create a retrofit strategy.

    Participants joined weekly 90-minute webinars, comprising an expert masterclass and a chance to ask questions, join discussions, and interact with fellow social housing professionals in breakout sessions.  From advice on building a business case and understanding PAS2035 through to resident engagement, attendees were equipped with the essential building blocks to deliver a social housing retrofit project.  

    These programmes have now come to an end.
