Course Overview


The problem with learning the technical aspects of lighting in the traditional way

  • Productivity Loss

    Attending face to face training sessions means time away from the work setting - work that than has to be caught up after the training

  • Additional Costs

    To train away from the workplace may involve travel, accomodation, entertainment and food - all additional costs

  • Striking the right "Balance"

    Quite often technical training can be heavily biased toward facts and figures - good for some learners but quite often overly difficult for most participants

  • Learning Application

    Often face to face courses deliver a lot of material in a short time frame however overlook how this content should be applied back at the work place

The Fundamentals of Light Course will teach you key lighting concepts and more importantly how they should be applied
