PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose and Rationale:

This is an introductory qualification in the field of housing. It is aimed at people who wish to gain elementary understanding of the housing sector as well as those who are already working within the housing environment (national, provincial and municipal governments including mines, NGOs, state-owned enterprises and housing institutions) at the general worker level as well as housing consumers. It is also aimed at people who are particularly entrusted with the responsibilities of imparting basic housing knowledge to the local communities working as housing project committee members or ward councillors at municipal level.

Because of the breadth and variety of housing information and knowledge that is aimed at addressing different groups of people in the entire property market, there is a need for people as individuals, and as members of social or workplace communities, to become aware of their roles and responsibilities towards housing.

This qualification is intentionally designed to provide relevant/current information, knowledge and skills to learners to make informed decisions and choices that will impact positively on housing thus contributing to the national vision of creating sustainable human settlements individually and collectively as communities.

This qualification will contribute to the employment opportunities in the housing sector and for career advancement within housing and numerous career pathways in the built environment horizontally and vertically at NQF Level 1 and NQF Level 2 related qualifications.

    Certificate in Housing Practice:

    This certificate is part of the vocational training which covers a wide range of job-based in-service training specific to different job levels in the grade and external courses to enable staff to become professionals. It includes induction, foundation, professional training, and continuous development and update, covering aspects of functional, managerial/supervisory and general skills development.

    Vocational training is provided in stages through offering in-service training courses as well as sponsoring staff to attend the HKU part-time day-release courses in housing management. The in-service courses can broadly be categorized into:

    (i) induction training for Housing Officers.
    (ii) foundation training for Housing Officers.
    (iii) estate management policies & practices.
    (iv) enforcement and legislation.
    (v) housing finance.
    (vii) maintenance services.

    Most in-service courses are conducted by experienced AHMs and HMs on secondment to the T&D Centre, or line managers drawn from different housing functions for selected topics relevant to their experience and expertise.

    External courses concentrate mainly on professional training through the Certificate in Housing Practice (CHP).

    Current provision of vocational training to staff is based on historical pattern. The following issues have been identified:

    (i) reliance on professional qualification as indicator and benchmark for job competence.
    (ii) large population makes it lengthy to cover target groups for training.
    (iii) ad hoc approach in organizing and nominating staff for training courses.
    (iv) uneven distribution of training opportunities among different ranks of staff in the grade.

    It is proposed that the vocational training strategy of the HM grade should be developed in line with the following Training and Development principles:

    (i) provide clearly defined objectives for vocational training, having regard to market trends and new demands on housing services, to ensure good match
    of new training programmes with job and grade specific requirements.
    (ii) provide a systematic framework and roadmap to sharpen the focus of vocational training and provide a building block for different stages of career progression.
    (iii) ensure a more balanced distribution of training opportunities among all ranks of the grade.
    (iv) develop partnership approach in the provision of training, by using resources of the Training and Development Centre, experience and expertise of line managers,and training capacity of external training institutions and professional.

    Training for Housing Officers (HOs):

    (i) Enhanced Induction Programme for Hos. The Induction Course for newly recruited HOs has been revised by increasing course duration from 5.5 days to 12.5 days. The new Induction Programme covers the general aspects of HOs' job, including housing management policies & practices, inter-personal relationship, team work, customer service and a computer training workshop, which are important components of their job. HOs will receive the training as soon as they report for duty.
    (ii) Revised Foundation Course for Hos. The Foundation Course is designed to help HOs understand housing policies and practical skills in housing management.
    It is also a pre-requisite programme for entry to the Certificate Course in Housing Practices. The curriculum has been revised to include a new module on 'Service Culture and Management Studies'.

    It can be concluded that this qualification is comparable to similar qualifications in countries referred to above.

A range of electives within this qualification will provide the learner further learning within certain areas of specialisation such as real estate, social housing, building construction, community house building, civil engineering construction, environmental sciences, and finance and management.
