摘要

This paper presents the work of last two years at Romanian National Lighting Committee - CNRI - (www.cnri.ro) in order to regulate the lighting industry. It started with the fact that anyone can make a lighting project, offer etc. In the last five years, lighting has pas through huge transformation and it is not only a technical discipline as it involves design, sustainability, psychology, biology and legislation. So the problem was how to establish a lifelong teaching programme for people with different background. Another issue was what to teach, what abilities are essentials and how to continue this training after someone receive a diploma. CNRI decided to introduce a new profession: lighting specialist in the list of the Romanian Occupation Classification with two levels: basic and advanced. The minimum level of study is a BA with a total of 120 training hours, from which there are 40 hours of courses for the basic level in two periods separated by two weeks in order to enhance the individual study.
