Certification of Lighting Professionals
The Committee is in the midst of drafting an education module to train professionals/ manpower for the lighting industry. MyCIE will collaborate with MMU to come out with a structured programme to train the graduates to fulfil the industry manpower needs and train them according to the industry requirements. The training programme will comply with the international standards requirements. The Committee is currently studying the possibilities of certifying lighting professionals as Lighting PE.
