"I am over the moon to be honest. I have been looking for this type of course for so very long and then finally BHA came along and made it happen. And in spectacular fashion I might add. Simply put and summarised, I would say BHA truly does care about educating those with a love of light, not in just word, but in action."
Retief Coetzer
"In my personal opinion, the amount of knowledge gained during the course, thus far, is a testament of the dedication and hard work of everyone involved and I am very pleased and willing to recommend the above-mentioned course and any of the other available courses to anyone who presents themselves in a correct manner."
Zenerick (Ziggy) Karolus - J.D. Reitz Consulting Engineers
"The presentations are professional yet practical, resulting in many architects, engineers and clients returning for the follow-up modules. Phil also conducts internal lighting training for our Eurolux sales and technical staff, both personally and online. It is a privilege and pleasure to have Philip conduct these lighting workshops on behalf of Eurolux."
Shaun Bouchier - Former Director Eurolux (Pty) Ltd
"Philip's intimate knowledge of the Standards, Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and Green Building requirements for energy compliance, sets their designs apart. To date, in partnership with BHA, we have successfully designed and supplied projects such as Hotel Verde, Namibian Breweries, Caxton House, Riverclub and many more."
