R.A.C. & Heat Pump Fault Finding & Maintenance
Course Synopsis:
This course is suitable for those who wish to improve their service and maintenance skills. The course is designed to include a very large (75%) practical component during which candidates will have the opportunity to practise their skills on live systems. The practical component will cover areas such as compressor replacement, working with R32, component testing and refrigeration fault diagnosis.
