NCQLP LC study guide

The Lighting Certified (LC) designation is awarded by the National Council on Qualifications for Lighting Professions (NCQLP), a non-profit organization founded in 1991 to serve and protect the well-being of the public through effective and efficient lighting practice. Through a peer-review process, the NCQLP establishes the education, experience and examination requirements for baseline certification across the lighting professions. The credential is aimed at professionals whose work touches lighting - designers, engineers, architects, specifiers, manufacturers' representatives, facility and energy managers, and others who need to demonstrate a baseline command of lighting practice rather than a single specialty. Because the NCQLP frames certification as baseline competence across the lighting professions, candidates should expect the examination to draw on the full breadth of lighting practice - photometry and calculations, lamps and controls, luminaire application, design criteria, codes and energy considerations, and documentation - rather than a narrow product or software focus. The organization also runs an Intern Program: qualified students, or graduates within one year following graduation with a bachelor's degree only, may take the examination as an Intern. Preparation starts with the current LC Candidate Handbook, which the NCQLP publishes with all application materials and detailed information about the examination. Topics on this exam: Lighting practice (content domains not enumerated in source). The NCQLP LC study guide has 1 section and about 426 words.
