Course Overview

Certificate III in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning provides you with the skills and knowledge to select components, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain refrigeration systems and equipment that apply to food storage and preservation, and air conditioning and air distribution equipment in buildings and premises.

A relevant contract of training through an apprenticeship or relevant employment is required to enable the application of the required knowledge and skills to on-the-job work activities and environments.

Refrigerant Handling Licence

This qualification meets the training components for the full national Refrigerant Handling Licence which is required to work on refrigeration and air conditioning equipment that carries the risk of a fluorocarbon refrigerant being emitted while decanting the refrigerant or manufacturing, installing, commissioning, servicing, maintaining or decommissioning refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Occupational Licence

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to refrigeration/air conditioning work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

Electrical Occupation Licence

This qualification meets the electrical regulatory requirements for related restricted electrical work in most state/territories. This is required to work on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (AC or 120 V direct current (DC)

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification. You are required to study A total of 1210 weighting points.

This comprises 1070 Core weighting points plus 140 General Elective weighting points from the general elective units listed below in Groups A and B.

Up to 60 weighting points can be selected from elective units in Group A with between 80 and 140 weighting points from Group B. Alternatively all 140 elective weighting points can be taken from Group B.
