There has been a massive growth in air-conditioning in recent years in mainland Europe and the United Kingdom, where
the growth has been biggest of all, the problem posed by the UK is lack of suitably trained personnel to competently be
able to carry out these tasks. Not only from the air-conditioning / refrigeration aspect, but also (with the advent of Part P),
the electrical side as well.
This course commences with the fundamentals of refrigeration and air conditioning theory and covers major component
parts and controls including their operation and replacement, diagnostics, basic electrics, charging with refrigerant, the
recovery of refrigerant and leak testing. We aim to make every course as practical as possible and at least 60% of the
course content is workshop based.
Candidates do not have to have any formal qualifications to attend this course since we start everyone from the absolute
beginning, irrespective of their previous experience. The level 3 qualification can be obtained by completing a workbook and assessments throughout the course, and completing a tutor guided project after the course has been completed.
