Accredited CO2 training on offer at Beijer Ref Academy

Beijer Ref and Superior Training Centre have joined forces to offer what they say is the only nationally accredited CO₂ course currently being run in Australia, on state-of-the-art equipment in a custom-built facility.

“This is an important step forward in the upskilling of technicians in CO₂ systems technology,” says Superior Training Centre head trainer Antonis Siamas.

“The training combines theory and practical, and technicians are working on the latest equipment within the Beijer Ref Academy.”

Those who successfully complete the two-day course receive a statement of attainment for UEENEEJ184A – Apply safety awareness and legal requirements for carbon dioxide refrigerant and UEENEEJ185A – Repair and service carbon dioxide refrigeration systems. The accreditation is authorised by Superior Training Centre and recorded against the technician’s unique student identifier.

“I really enjoyed the course and learnt a lot,” says Redtech Commercial Refrigeration service manager and recent course attendee Tom Harkness.

“It was so good to do the practical components and see all the different racks at the Beijer Ref facilities. This accreditation will mean a lot to me and our business moving forward.”

The Sydney-based Beijer Ref Academy is equipped with CO₂ technology that allows technicians and installers the opportunity to learn how to operate the systems in different configurations. It has been set up to deliver live simulation performance in all applications and weather conditions.

Future course dates are listed below. All courses are subject to minimum attendance numbers being met.
