Who is this course for?
WorkSafe says… “People filling containers with gases under pressure, including cylinders, aerosols, and non-refillable containers must be trained and hold an approved filler compliance certificate. An approved filler compliance certificate must be issued by a compliance certifier.”
Therefore… this applies to any person who recovers refrigerant into cylinders in the course of servicing or installing refrigeration or AC systems. A Compliance Certificate (licence) is valid for 5 years.
If you have an existing licence which needs renewing take a look at the Renewal page.
