Aico, a manufacturer of residential fire and carbon monoxide detection products, has introduced a new City & Guilds Assured training course focused on connected home technology for housing professionals and landlords.
The free, full-day course – titled ‘Connected Home’ – is scheduled to launch in February. It is designed to explore how connected hardware and software can support compliance, property management, and data-led decision-making within the housing sector.
The course content has been developed through pilot sessions involving housing professionals, industry stakeholders, and internal teams.
According to Aico, feedback from these sessions has been used to shape the training around operational challenges faced by housing providers, while reflecting evolving legislation and technology adoption.
Addressing compliance and property monitoring
The training covers the role of connected home technology in supporting compliance and proactive property management, particularly as housing regulation continues to evolve across the UK.
The course also references Awaab’s Law and its focus on indoor air quality, damp, mould, and maintenance responsibilities.
Participants will receive guidance on legislative requirements across different UK regions and how connected monitoring systems can support early issue identification and compliance reporting.
The programme includes an overview of Aico’s HomeLINK technology and its use of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to monitor property conditions and performance.
The course also examines how data can be used to improve operational efficiency and compliance while maintaining responsible data management practices.
Attendees will be introduced to the HomeLINK Portal, alongside demonstrations of system navigation and portfolio monitoring.
The course also covers case management features intended to support proactive maintenance planning, technical guidance on installation and device compatibility, and an overview of future technology developments.
The training provides City & Guilds Assured accreditation, which recognises professional development in connected home technology and housing compliance practices.
The course is delivered on an invite-only basis, with registration available through Aico Relationship Managers on the company’s website.
