First ever on-demand CIBSE accredited CPDs available on the Signify Lighting Academy

At Signify, like several other innovations, we are thrilled to announce the first-ever on-demand CIBSE accredited Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses on the Signify Learning Academy. The five new courses will arm specifiers, lighting designers, facilities managers, and installers with the knowledge to be able to respond to a range of business needs from meeting sustainability goals to protection from COVID-19.

It’s no news that the business environment is dynamic and ever-evolving, more so since the pandemic. So, every business needs to cater to the changing needs of its customers – almost urgently! The lighting sector is no different. In fact, in the years that I have spent in the lighting industry I have seen the industry evolve at such a rapid pace!

From adapting to the pandemic to taking definite action towards climate crisis, the industry has been at the forefront of innovating – from solutions to products.
