Fundamentals of Automotive Air Conditioning Maintenance

Fundamentals of Automotive Air Conditioning Maintenance

elearning-training was launched by Star Refrigeration in October 2006 as a pioneering learning initiative to meet the needs of the air-conditioning, refrigeration and building services sector. This learning portal has rapidly become popular within the industry and is attracting significant international attention from students, educationalists and trade associations. 
In October 2007 this initiative was the winner of the Cooling Industry - Training Initiative. It has also built a student community of more than 2500 members from all around the globe in just over a year.
Learning content has recently been expanded to include the world’s first interactive course covering CO2 Refrigeration. This is already proving successful and is being used by retail operators as their standard requirement for contractor training.
All of the courses are recognised for CPD by CIBSE and the Construction CPD Certification Service.
