Abstract
The work of the City and Guilds of London Institute and the Institution of Electrical Engineers in providing examinations in Illuminating Engineering is reviewed, and that of the Technical Colleges and a correspondence school providing courses for these examinations. The teaching of the subject and research undertaken in it at Universities and Colleges of Advanced Technology are also described. It is pointed out that most of the university teaching of lighting is done in the Schools of Architecture. The contributions of the IES and of the Colour Group are reviewed. The part played by the Lighting Industry in training is treated in detail, and the professional qualifications in lighting are explained. In conclusion it is emphasised that the training in lighting which is carried out in this country is inadequate to meet the present situation.
