Level 3 Air Conditioning and Climate Control

This programme is designed for technicians working in the motor industry who are currently, or will be in the future, working on air-conditioning and climate control of cars or car-derived vans. It helps develop existing skills and builds new diagnostic techniques.
Most importantly this qualification provides Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) technicians (working with cars and car derived vans) with a qualification (approved by DEFRA) which fulfils the scope of Commission Regulation EC842/2006 and Annex to Commission Regulation EC307/2008 for F-gas (fluorinated greenhouse gas). This qualification becomes essential after the 4th July 2010, as from this date these EU Regulations require all MAC technicians to have achieved a refrigerant handling qualification (approved by DEFRA) meeting the F-gas Regulations.
To complete your programme students will be required to produce a portfolio of evidence showing both practical and theoretical competence. This may be conducted with live or simulated tasks. Students work will be assessed against the appropriate standards and your underpinning knowledge will be tested on-line.
