Over the 2 days, the course will help refresh experienced engineers understand of how to work with refrigerants safely, reduce refrigerant loss to the atmosphere, reduce refrigerant leakage, and ensure systems are operating efficiently. It consists of one day mixing between the classroom and workshop covering the course content, and a day of completing the theory and practical assessments.
Prior Learning Course Content:
Delegates are required to review the supplied course notes prior to attending. This pre-course learning will help build an understanding of the key topics covered during the training and support successful course completion.
