Deep industry knowledge is made accessible through patient, approachable teaching that simplifies complex F-Gas and refrigeration topics. Attendees value the relaxed yet informative delivery, repeated explanations, thorough answers to questions and supportive preparation for assessment. They also praise the well-organised practical work, good equipment and facilities, and the confidence the learning gives them to recover refrigerant, pressure-test, vacuum, leak-test and charge equipment correctly at work. The course is intensive, but its pace helps learning stick.

About this course
The F Gas Regulations course will suit any person who requires the minimum legal requirement to work on air conditioning and refrigeration equipment including air conditioning and refrigeration engineers and technicians, all plant engineers, apprentices, personnel concerned with the recovery, charging or disposal of refrigerants and new comers into the industry.
F Gas Regulations training courses are designed for both experienced air-conditioning and refrigeration engineers and also candidates who are looking to cross train and gain qualifications in the air conditioning / refrigeration sector.
This F Gas Regulations qualification is to meet the legal requirements of EC Regulation 842/2006 (commonly known as the F Gas Regulation). The Certification Schemes are designed for operatives who install, service and repair refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems, and require the following skills:
- Safe handling of refrigerant techniques
- Pipework and Jointing skills
- Recovery of Refrigerants (restricted to small systems only)
- Intrusive and non-intrusive leak and performance checking
Category 1 covers all aspects of installation, commissioning, servicing, maintenance, recovery and leak checking on all refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems in accordance with the F-Gas Regulation EC842/2006, regardless of the weight of refrigerant in the system.
Course subjects are:
- Pressure test and discharge to BSEN378
- Charge a blended refrigerant
- Evaluate system performance to ensure competence (using rule of thumb, temperature, refrigerant state and pressure)
- Leak test to EC1516/2007
- Fabricate and fit brazed and mechanical joints
- Uphold F-Gas records and log books.
- Handle refrigerant safely and dispose of rightfully
- Pressure Regulation compliance
All candidates will be able to ensure systems are tight, efficient in their use of energy and meet the F-Gas legal requirement.

A good course.
Excellent Course
I recently completed my F-Gas training at this centre and had a great experience. The instructor was highly knowledgeable, patient, and explained both the theory and practical techniques clearly. The hands-on training was well organised and gave me the confidence to carry out procedures such as refrigerant recovery, pressure testing, vacuuming, leak testing, and charging correctly. The course was delivered in a professional and supportive environment, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practise the required techniques. The trainer made sure everyone understood each step before moving on, which really helped prepare me for the assessment. I would highly recommend this training centre to anyone looking to gain their F-Gas qualification. Thank you to the whole team for providing such a high-quality training experience
