LCL L3 Certificate in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Systems

The course content is listed below. Please note that the order of modules may change. 

There is some pre course reading which must be completed before the course. The pre course reading details are provided to you when you receive your Joining Instructions.
In addition attendees should look over the 18th Edition and F Gas practice questions to understand the knowledge required.  

Assessments will mostly be completed during the course but you will have the opportunity to complete these at a later date, post course, if you wish.

Attendees will be given access to online materials for a period of one year from the start of the course, and a course manual will be given out on arrival at the training venue.
