WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS TRAINING?
Newcomers to the Industry, Apprentices, Career Changing & Up-Skilling Engineers and persons who wish to work within the Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Industry.
The course covers all practical and theoretical aspects to successfully complete the F-Gas & Ozone Depleting Substances Certification Course.
The aim of this unit is to provide the candidate with the knowledge and practical skills required to undertake leak checking, recovery, installation, service and maintenance of stationary refrigeration, air conditioning and heat-pump equipment that contains refrigerants which are classified as either fluorinated (F) gases or ozone-depleting substances (ODS) to meet Category I theoretical and practical requirements.
Successful candidates will demonstrate the application of practical skills to successfully fabricate and examine pipework, undertake pressure testing, evacuation and record completion, refrigerant charging, leak checking and record-keeping, and recover refrigerants and oil and preparation for disposal.
Successful candidates will be qualified to undertake leak checking, recovery, installation, service and maintenance of equipment.
