Learning Outcomes

Delegates will gain a robust understanding of the regulations and recommended practices, and feel confident in implementing these in their work.

All course delegates will be provided with a comprehensive manual covering the material included in this unit and additional support material, serving as a valuable point of reference after completion of the course. The ongoing assessment included in the course will allow the trainer to monitor progress and provide additional assistance to learning where required.

This course is aimed for engineers with a basic knowledge of lamps and light fittings aiming to add emergency lighting principles and design to their range of skills and services, and for more experienced engineers who already have knowledge and experience in this field.
