Description: Banff and Buchan College is approved by City and Guilds to train and assess candidates for the C&G 2079 (Level 2 Award in F-Gas and ODS Regulations). This qualification is aimed at any engineer who does or may work with refregeration, air conditioning or heat pump equipment and meets the competence and training requirements of UK and EU regulations. Regulations now require that all engineers who handle HFC refrigerants have this qualification or the CITB equivalent. All engineers who currently hold Safe Handling 2078 must up-date to the new EU 2079 by July 2011
Target group: This course is designed for both refrigeration engineers and engineers who specialise in other fields.
Venue: This course is delivered at our training centre in Dyce or at our main campus in Fraserburgh so that delegates can use our high-specification training equipment.
