Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Following the successful launch of our online CPD programme, Ventilux continues to support professionals across the UK and Ireland with practical, informative sessions focused on emergency lighting.

Led by our Emergency Lighting Specialists, each session offers valuable insight into the latest standards, best practice, and key considerations when selecting the right emergency lighting solutions for different applications.

More sessions are currently being planned to give professionals further opportunities to expand their knowledge.

The online 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.

Sessions have included:

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.
