Airedale by Modine, the critical cooling specialists, has announced the re-launch of their esteemed HVAC training courses at their centre of excellence in Leeds, UK.
Having closed throughout the pandemic to prevent virus transmission, news of the training centre re-opening has been well received by HVAC engineers and estate teams who have been lining up to register their teams for the accredited, legislation-compliant HVAC training courses.
The Airedale training centre offers a wide variety of BESA Academy accredited courses that meet legislative guidelines and are essential for engineers working with HVAC equipment and refrigerant gases. For example, the BESA Academy accredited F-Gas category 1 course is a requirement for UK-based engineers working on any size or type of equipment that contains fluoro-carbon refrigerants. Successful completion of the course provides students with mandatory F-Gas certification for a period of five years as outlined in the UK Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2021, after which a short refresher is required to update holders on changes to the regulations. Other BESA Academy accredited courses include pipework and brazing, safe isolation of electricity and refrigerant controls, alongside a variety of Airedale certified air conditioning courses and CPDs. The Airedale training centre has first class facilities and offers a mix of both classroom and practical teaching in their purpose-built workshop.
Training is headed up by Airedale’s time-served engineer Duncan Hitchcox. Duncan started with Airedale in 1986 and has worked across many departments including production, research and development and controls, gaining the in-depth knowledge, skills and practical application experience that make him the proficient trainer that he is today.
