LIA Advanced Certificate
in Interior Lighting Design
The fully redeveloped Advanced Certificate in Interior Lighting provides you with the vital, well informed next step in advancing your knowledge and education for a career in interior lighting.
The Advanced Certificate course focuses on the professional design process from concept through specification, and ends with a design project that will test and develop what you have learned. It provides the crucial stepping stone for progressing your careers in lighting design from basic numbers to full design.
LIA Advanced Certificate
in Exterior Lighting Design
This 4-day course is structured on a designer’s approach to lighting, first concept, then detailed design before specification. Candidates will look at clients’ needs, how light makes you feel and act, masterplanning, navigation, dynamic city-scapes, light pollution and design thinking.
The Advanced Certificate is the natural progression from the LIA Certificate, which covers manual calculations and two-dimensional (working plane) design. The advanced course thinks in 3D, luminance, contrast, colour and dynamism, and assumes the use of lighting software. Air, rail, sports, area and architectural projects are used to learn from designers’ techniques, successes and failures.
