elearning-training.com 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.
elearning-training.com 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.
Why not view a sample first? Simply Register now to review a free sample of the CO2 Refrigeration course and see for yourself the quality, interactivity and convenience of the courses.
All our courses are developed by experienced engineers and provide the underpinning knowledge required to work in the HVACR industry. On course completion students will receive a Diploma accredited by both CIBSE CPD and The Construction CPD Service.
