• Training and Certification
• Reducing environmental impact

DESCRIPTION: 

This free workshop will give you the opportunity to learn about the skills challenges of using low GWP refrigerants more widely. This workshop will explore the safety, reliability, environmental and containment issues related to new low flammables (HFO) as well as natural working fluids such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon and ammonia. Based on extensive European experience of training this workshop will introduce free e-learning, booklets, measurement tools and practical training and certification programmes that are being developed as a global resource. 

The workshop will introduce you to a new approach called  ''REAL Alternatives 4 life'' . The project addresses knowedge, awarness, and skills barriers to the rapid and widespread adoption of low GWP alternative refrigerants throught Europe, by providing reliable, unbased, consistent and up to date training materials linked to an extensive train the trainer programme.

Book on this workshop to find out the latest about how skills shortages are being addressed, and how you could access these free resources as a technician, engineer, manager, trainer or a national association dedicated to improving safety and skills standards.  See our website to view the materials before the event at www.realalternatives.eu.
