We are thrilled to announce that the IOR Masterclasses have been shortlisted for the RAC Cooling Awards 2024 in the Campaign of the Year Category. The RAC Cooling Awards will be held on 19 September in London.

The IOR masterclass series is designed to support colleges and employers who take on trainees (or anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge).  The online classes are broadcast live and added to a video reference library. They are aimed at students in vocational colleges, particularly apprentices, to support their training and exam revision and are free for anyone to join or listen to.

The next IOR Masterclass will be held on 5 September - to find out more about forthcoming events and watch the masterclasses on catch-up, see the IOR Masterclass page on the website.
