What people are saying about ICOL courses

Fundamentals of Light

by Peter C

"This Fundamentals of Light course provided me with an introduction to the essential knowledge required to understand lighting both from the scientific and artistic perspectives The course was a valuable learning experience as it challenged my thinking regarding the application of light - previously I had thought about lighting in purely commercial terms, giving little attention to it's quality - quality of the fixtures, quality of the lighting design, quality of the end result produced by a good lighting design. I liked the 2 x half day format as it gave me time to consider the course material, the quizzes were fun and the discussions with the facilitator were both interesting and helpful”

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
