After completing all three modules, you will work independently on your ELD Completion Project. This will be assessed, and all successful students are then awarded the ILP Exterior Lighting Diploma.
The course is managed by the Institution of Lighting Professionals, who are on hand to provide support and advice at every stage.
Comprehensive joining instructions and a learning agreement will be sent before your start date. We will send you general guidance notes to download so you can be fully prepared.
Modules A, B and C are fully residential. Your accommodation and meals at the hotel will be reserved for you and the cost is included in the course fee. The programme is intensive with tutorial sessions starting at around 9am and continuing throughout the day and into the evening. Each Module runs from Monday to Friday and students are welcome and encouraged to arrive on the Sunday before the Module starts, to settle in and meet other students.
