Learn the craft of shade.

The Shade School library — CPD-aligned courses, full course modules, specifier guides, eBooks and one-page cheatsheets across six knowledge pillars. Every item is bought and downloaded on the Blind Solutions Academy. Built for South African standards — international items are clearly badged. Filter by pillar, format, region or search.

How it works: every paid course includes its matching guide, eBook and cheatsheet free — or buy any item standalone. CPD courses carry SACAP-aligned points with an assessment; Full courses are the deeper self-study with a verifiable certificate. Specifying a live project instead? Head to the Architect store →
