Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Ventilux is introducing a new series of online CPD sessions launching in Q1 of 2026, designed to support professionals who work with emergency lighting across both the UK and Ireland. Delivered by our Emergency Lighting Specialists, these sessions provide clear, practical guidance on the latest standards, as well as how to select the most appropriate system for different building types and applications.

The programme features core CPDs

Together, they offer a comprehensive understanding of modern emergency lighting requirements – from legislation and performance expectations to system design strategies, installation considerations, and long-term maintenance responsibilities.

 

Our CPDs are delivered online, with dedicated UK and Ireland sessions to ensure the content accurately reflects local legislation and design expectations.

Available Sessions

System Choice
A practical overview of selecting the most appropriate emergency lighting system, comparing self-contained, central battery, static inverter, and generator-backed solutions, with common design pitfalls highlighted.

 

Emergency Lighting Standards
A clear walkthrough of IS 3217:2023 / British Standards BS5266-1: 2025 and related European standards, covering classifications, light levels, durations, response times, escape routes, open areas, high-risk task areas, and emergency exit signage, including key updates in the latest revision.

 

Testing Systems
An overview of legal testing and maintenance requirements, comparing manual testing, self-test, CTU, and fully automated systems, with a focus on compliance responsibility, lifecycle cost, and reducing disruption and human error.

 

Central Battery & Static Inverter Systems (optional two-part session)

Part 1: How static inverter systems work, when they’re appropriate, battery technologies, environmental considerations, bypass arrangements, and monitoring.

Part 2: Design and specification, including sizing, inrush current, fault clearance, sub-circuit monitoring, uniformity, cabling, inverter room layout, and the use of DALI in larger or more complex projects.
