The SkillFRIDGE 2018 organisers are now planning the regional heats which will take place between May and August.
The regional competitions will consist of skill-specific challenges, designed to put theoretical knowledge, practical skills and time management to the test. Designed by RACHP industry experts, the challenges will include fabrication, brazing, pressure tests and evacuation tasks in addition to a control wiring and testing task.
The seven highest scoring competitors will be invited to compete in the SkillFRIDGE final at The Skills Show, organised by WorldSkills UK, in November 2018. As well as identifying the SkillFRIDGE gold medal winner, any age eligible participant scoring above 65% in the final will be in with a chance to represent Great Britain at international WorldSkills competitions.
