LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
There are many routes into the lighting industry, as designers, sales team members or technical and compliance. Some of us have decades of experience, for others it’s the first day. So which course do you need? There is no ‘all you will ever need to know in a day’ course, so the Your Career in Lighting chart gives some answers on what courses match what you need to be competent in some typical job roles, to build on what you already know and to continue your professional development. Don’t fit the chart, or still have some questions? Not a problem ring or email the LIA Academy team, we are here to help you. If you are an HR manager don’t forget that if you have a group of staff who need training, we can deliver the training at your premises.

Certification and Accreditation explained So you see the words Certification and Accreditation continuously throughout the Lighting Industry, but how many of you actually know what each individual option means to you and your business? Let us explain So you have a lighting product that you think is great, you have had your product manager take a look at it and they seem to think it looks good, it comes with an amount of paperwork but you are not really sure what it means, it must mean its safe and good quality right? WRONG. The lighting industry internationally work to their own standards and set a certain precedent with what they consider to be safe and good quality. Here in the UK we recognize products that have been safety tested by a UKAS accredited laboratory or test house (a certification body), this means that UKAS visit that facility every year, they rigorously audit the processes (the way the tests are conducted) and then on passing the audit they issue an up to date accreditation for that facility, making them a certification body. This is Accreditation. It is third-party recognition that an organisation has the competence and impartiality to perform specific technical activities such as certification, testing and inspection.
