Training and certification exam for Category A1 (F-gases and hydrocarbons)

PLATINUM PACKAGE – “From scratch”

For those who want a comprehensive entry into the world of modern refrigeration
This is the solution for participants starting out in the HVACR industry or for those who want to build solid foundations in working with alternative refrigerants.

The package guides you step by step – from the basics of F-gases and flammable refrigerants through to the practical aspects of safety, servicing and the operation of installations.
By combining e-learning, on-site classes and hands-on workshops, participants gain not only the knowledge needed to obtain the A1 certificate, but above all the competences useful in everyday work.

Choose the PLATINUM package if: you want to gain comprehensive knowledge from scratch, you plan to develop your career in modern refrigeration, full theoretical and practical preparation matters to you. As part of the package, participants also receive: access to mock examination tests, access to the e-library of training and technical materials.

GOLD PACKAGE – “Refresher”

For those who already hold an F-gas certificate and have industry experience
This package has been designed for HVACR service technicians and specialists who want to quickly expand their competences to include working with flammable refrigerants and to prepare for the new requirements of the market.
It is an intensive, focused form of training for people who already have experience and want to earn the European A1 certificate without repeating the basics.

The training covers in-depth theory on technological changes, occupational safety, EU requirements and the practical aspects of working with installations that use alternative refrigerants.
A strong emphasis is also placed on exam preparation – participants work on open-ended task sheets and analyse real-world servicing scenarios.
The practical part takes a workshop format – each participant individually performs exercises on equipment under the instructor’s supervision.

Choose the GOLD package if: you already hold an F-gas certificate, you want to quickly earn the European A1 qualification along with real practical preparation, hands-on work on equipment and in-depth knowledge matter to you, you want to prepare well for the A1 examination. As part of the package, participants also receive: access to mock examination tests, access to the e-library of training and technical materials, the handbook “Flammable refrigerants in refrigeration and air conditioning”.

SILVER PACKAGE – “Flexible”

For those who have experience and want to learn in a convenient, modern format
This is the option for participants who want to combine independent online study with hands-on on-site workshops.

The package lets you reduce the amount of on-site training time while still providing access to e-learning materials and practical preparation for the A1 examination, which includes a demonstration and discussion of the most important servicing tasks performed by the instructor, as well as a presentation of good practices for working with flammable refrigerants.
A key element of the training is an extensive e-learning panel, which allows participants to absorb the theoretical knowledge of F-gases and alternative refrigerants at their own pace.

The panel contains as many as 9 e-learning modules covering the following topics:

1. Introduction to alternative refrigerants – safety, efficiency, reliability and good practices (Mandatory),
2. Safety and risk management when using alternative refrigerants (Mandatory),
3. Differences in system design for alternative refrigerants,
4. Tightness principles for systems using alternative refrigerants,
5. Service and maintenance checklist for systems using alternative refrigerants,
6. Retrofitting existing systems with low-GWP refrigerants,
7. Checklist of laws and regulations,
8. Assessing the costs of alternative refrigerant leaks,
9. Tips on advising clients on leak reduction.

The on-site part takes a workshop format and focuses primarily on the practical aspects of working with refrigeration installations that use flammable refrigerants. Participants observe the most important servicing tasks being carried out, learning the correct procedures and safe working practices.

Choose the SILVER package if: you have knowledge and experience in working with alternative refrigerants, you value a flexible way of learning, you want to combine e-learning with a practical demonstration, making efficient use of training time matters to you.

The package does not include work on open-ended task sheets or the individual performance of practical exercises by participants.
