The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) will be on Stand 328 to talk about all the latest training materials, handling of new gases, and improved permit application systems.
As the national licensing body for the RAC industry, ARC recently partnered with Refrigerants Australia and selected TAFE Colleges to develop a set of free A2/A2L refrigerant training resources and assessment materials.
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) can download the materials free of charge from the arcltd.org.au website, and there will be sample copies at ARBS for RTOs to see what they’ll be getting.
In 2018, ARC created a unit of competency for A2/A2L refrigerants, and these new resources build upon that unit of competency to assist RTOs in successfully teaching students about A2/A2L refrigerants, in particular, R32, which is rising quickly in popularity.
The resources and assessment materials are Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) endorsed to provide confidence for training providers and students alike.
ARC can also explain the voluntary ARC Green Scheme Accreditation program, which is the only national accreditation available for technicians to demonstrate they are qualified to work with natural refrigerants.
Also coming from ARC is a new online application and renewal process that will make it simpler to apply for your licence. You will be able to upload qualifications and photographs with your application, and then finalise payment by credit card online.
Scheduled trials will begin soon.
See you at Stand 328.
