BHA School of Lighting (SoL) has been awarded institutional academic accreditation by the European Association for Higher Education Advancement (EAHEA) as an online learning institution.
This means that BHA SoL has satisfactorily met all the educational standards set by the EAHEA regarding administrative responsibility, institutional integrity, and academic quality.
The EAHEA is a non-governmental, independent, and globally recognised quality assurance body based in Europe. It provides international accreditation to universities, colleges, institutions, online learning centres, and corporations across more than 170 countries.
“Being accredited by EAHEA affirms our commitment to global education excellence. For BHA School of Lighting, it means recognition as a world-class institution. For our educators, it’s a mark of quality. More importantly, for our students, it’s a promise of learning that meets international learning standards,” said Philip Hammond, BHA School of Lighting founder and principal.
Lighting industry recognition
In addition to BHA SoL’s EAHEA academic accreditation, the lighting design industry has also recognised BHA SoL as an education provider through the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) Education Trust and its Learn2Light project.
The Learn2Light project was created in 2005 by the late Phil Gabriel, an award-winning Canadian lighting designer who served as president of both the IALD and the IALD Education Trust. The Learn2Light project provides an overview of schools offering diverse educational programs in design, engineering, and science, with a focus on architectural lighting design.
