McMasters has served on NCQLP’s Test Committee since 2007. “The NCQLP certification verifies you have a basic knowledge of lighting,” she says. “You also must have three years of experience in the field, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but these days with new technol- ogies you learn a lot in three years.” Thirty- six continuing-education credits during
the course of three years are required to maintain the accreditation. Steven Rosen, principal of Available Light,
