Course Overview
This single unit course is an EU Regulated and Defra approved qualification which provides experienced automotive Bodyshop Mechanical Electrical Trim (MET) Technicians and Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) Technicians with evidence that they meet the minimum F-gas requirements (EC842/2006 and annex EC307/2008).
New EU F-gas legislation (517/2014) replaces the 2006 regulation and came into force from January 2015.
Additional content has been added to unit AC1 to include refrigerant R1234yf. New online test questions have been added to the online exam to AC1r to cover properties of refrigerant R1234yf, service methods and equipment requirements.
This course is not an accredited assessment, it is a regulated qualification that does not require renewal once successfully completed. Training and certifications in the 2014 F-Gas Regulation are based largely on the existing requirements of the 2006 regulation. Existing qualifications therefore remain valid.
An information pack containing relevant knowledge the candidates are expected to learn will be sent out prior to the date of the course.
Candidates must demonstrate the learning outcomes by following and achieving two assessment components set by IMI: Practical assessments and an external online test.
