ProSource Sets Certification Path for Push Into Lighting

ProSource announced lighting technology certification modules as part of its push into the $44 billion category, an initiative launched at its spring Summit in Las Vegas (see 2003100048). The program, exclusive to ProSource University and supported by vendor partners American Lighting, Coastal Source, Colorbeam, DMF Lighting, Savant, Vantage and WAC Lighting, was created by Light Can Help You’s David Warfel and Mark Langston, along with the ProSource lighting committee. Level 1 modules include certification and courses covering client foundations, integrator foundations, light and wellness, fixtures, plans, controls, “the industrial complex” and purchasing and restocking, ProSource said. The Level 2 curriculum is a live, hands-on lab that will be hosted at a permanent location to be announced later this year, said the buying group. Program will host a 30-minute virtual lighting technology certification launch event to introduce members to the program. ProSource University access is free for all members through Sept. 30.
