CPD Lighting Courses
The Digilin team is extremely passionate about sharing our love for lighting and lighting expertise with the design community.

We deliver a broad range of technical training presentations for design professionals ranging from general introductory sessions to others exploring specialist niche topics like architectural growlighting. Many of these sessions involve optional assessment and qualify for CPD points (Continuing Professional Development) for architects and engineers.

These sessions are delivered online, or in-person during visits to our production facility or your office. Consider this an open invitation to reach out to us at any time to schedule a session for you and your team. Not only are we extremely passionate about lighting and greatly enjoy sharing our knowledge, we’re certain that your team will benefit.
