F GAS CATEGORY 1: THREE DAY FAQ’S

DOES THE F GAS QUALIFICATION EXPIRE?
No, as we offer the City and Guilds 2079 there is no expiry date on the qualification so it does not have to be renewed.

IS THERE ANY RECOMMENDED READING BEFORE COMING ON THE COURSE?
We would suggest that you do not read or revise any of the subjects covered to avoid any confusion when you attend the course. Our courses are specially designed to take the candidate from any level through to passing the exam (provided they are on the correct course).

I DO NOT HAVE A FORMAL QUALIFICATION BUT I HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR 15 YEARS WHAT COURSE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
We would recommend attending the 5 day course as you will need to cover the theory behind the systems.

DO I ONLY HAVE TO GET ONE ENGINEER QUALIFIED WITH THE COMPANY?
No all of the engineers who are working with refrigerants will need to have the qualification i.e. certified engineers working for certified companies.

IS THERE ANY PRACTICAL TRAINING ON THE 3 DAY COURSE?
No because the course is really revision designed for experienced, qualified refrigeration or chiller engineers used to working with DX systems.

WHAT ARE THE HOURS FOR THE F GAS COURSE?
The F Gas course starts at 9.30 and runs through to about 5.00, with an hour for lunch.
