The course on offer meets the requirements of the regulating body, the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), for issuing a restricted Refrigerant Handling Licence. On the 1st of July 2005, the Australian Government implemented a licensing scheme to support regulations under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989, designed to reduce emissions of environmentally harmful refrigerant gases. Anyone wanting to install, service or repair an air conditioner, or any other piece of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment must be a licensed technician under the regulations.
Upon completion, you will be able to apply for a Refrigerant Handling Licence. The licence is a restricted Split System Air Conditioning Installation and Decommissioning licence which enables you to legally handle a refrigerant for the installation and decommissioning of single head split systems of less than 18kW (Cooling capacity).
The holder of such a licence can:
Please note, some states require additional licencing details or courses to contract for work. These include NSW, Victora, and South Australia. Please check with your local government and regulatory body for more information.
Learners must hold a current WA Unrestricted Electrician’s or Training Licence or equivalent issued in an Australian State or Territory or be in the final year of their electrical apprenticeship.
Theory is taught through face-to-face sessions, aided by learner guides and presentations, covering necessary paperwork and legislation aligned with ARC requirements. Practical sessions take place in a workshop setting with supplied materials. Assessments will include written tasks and practical demonstrations on two inverter air conditioners.
All participants will need a Trainee Licence from the Australian Refrigeration Council to attend the course. Details will be provided so you can apply for this prior to your course.
Learners are required to complete a 2 hour precourse assignment.
All course materials will be provided.
