Certificate II under review

The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) Board has finalised a review of the training requirements associated with the Certificate II qualification to confirm that they remain relevant to the restricted licence - heat pump & split systems - installation and decommissioning.

Kevin O'Shea, the Chairperson of the ARC Board said, "The review has identified a number of shortfalls requiring consideration including training competencies and evidence necessary to demonstrate competence."

The review of the Certificate II level training was undertaken through the ARC's 'Training Quality' industry working group, under the guidance of ARC's Technical and Training Manager Noel Munkman and reported to the Board recently.

"The dynamic nature of the industry means qualifications which underpin licence types must remain relevant and appropriate," Mr O'Shea said.

The requirement for the Certificate II qualification is set out in the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Regulations 1995. Results of the review have been presented to the Australian Government for their consideration.
