Delegates who are working, or looking to work, as a refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump system engineer and who have some relevant skills and knowledge. You need this qualification as a licence to practise with fluorinated gases and ozone depleting substances.
Pre-requisites
It is recommended that delegates should have or be working towards the level 2 NVQ in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, or an equivalent/higher qualification, in order to be able to satisfactorily complete the City and Guilds level 2 award in F-Gas and ODS Regulations.
Without evidence of formal qualifications, delegates must be able to demonstrate adequate prior knowledge and experience to ensure they have the potential to successfully gain the qualification(s).
A good understanding of written & spoken English is required.
On successful completion of the course, a Level 2 award in F-Gas and ODS Regulations - Category I - City & Guilds 2079-11 certificate will be issued, qualifying you to undertake leak checking, recovery, installation, service and maintenance of equipment containing F-Gas refrigerants.
Due to the Internal Quality Assurance process, as stipulated by City and Guilds, which must be conducted for the paperwork on all courses, certification for this qualification can take up to 3 months at our busiest times. We always aim to provide certificates as quickly as possible, for updates on when your certificate will be available, please call 0345 766 7799 or send an email to trainingadmin@hss.com for updates.
