Dedicated self-paced governance platforms

Volunteer committee members are expected to govern. Nobody teaches them how.

TRA committees make real decisions about housing policy, budgets, and community services. But the training available today isn't designed for them.

Membership-gated access

Most governance training requires organisational membership with TPAS or CIH, putting it out of reach for individual volunteers.

Built for professionals

Existing courses target housing officers and staff. The curriculum assumes sector experience that volunteer members don't have.

Event-based, not on-demand

Webinars and evening sessions clash with work schedules. Committee members need training they can access at their own pace.

England-centric content

Scotland has its own regulator, its own charter, and its own legislation. English-focused courses miss the mark for Scottish TRAs.

Training structured by committee role

Every member gets governance foundations. Then specialise based on your role.

Built for Scotland's regulatory framework, not adapted from England

Scotland's housing governance operates under its own legislation, its own regulator, and its own standards. GovLearn teaches what actually applies to your committee.

Key Scottish Governance Framework

Annual Return on the Charter (ARC) How landlords report performance to the Regulator each year
Annual Assurance Statement Landlords must confirm compliance with regulatory requirements
Tenant Scrutiny Your right to examine and challenge landlord performance
Regulatory Standards of Governance The rules that govern how housing associations must operate

Every tenant committee deserves the knowledge to govern well

GovLearn is building the training platform that Scotland's tenant and resident associations have been missing. Structured modules. Scotland-specific content. Available when your committee needs it.
