Technician Training & Certification
Empowering the informal sector through rigorous training on the safe handling of flammable natural refrigerants and efficient servicing practices.
The Frontline of Climate Action
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) technicians are essential to the transition. Proper servicing prevents refrigerant leakage and maintains equipment efficiency over its lifespan.
Safety First
Natural refrigerants like propane (R-290) are highly efficient but flammable. Specialized safety training is non-negotiable.
Certification
Formalizing the sector through recognized national qualification frameworks and licensing.
Best Practices
Training covers proper recovery, recycling, and reclamation (RRR) of refrigerants to prevent atmospheric venting during repairs.
Program Components
Curriculum Development
Partnering with technical institutes to integrate natural refrigerants into TVET syllabi.
Train-the-Trainer
Building local capacity by qualifying master trainers who cascade knowledge to grassroots technicians.
Tooling Support
Providing access to specialized tools (recovery machines, identifiers, leak detectors) required for safe handling.
