After 40 plus years in the refrigeration industry with very little training in the early days (working on site with a more experienced engineer and picking up information along the way), not a bad way to learn gradually I learned the job. The thirty years at this small family business came to an end when the company was sold, I decided to go self employed covering butchers, retail and bakeries etc. providing service and installations.

Then the dreaded F Gas regulations.

I booked a course with a training provider, a large file of info., two days of lectures in a class room, the third day I sat the test on computer,  I failed, after 43 years without studying I thought I would never attempt or pass this at all and thought I was on the scrap heap.My family and friendly customers said that I should try again and was recommend Chill Air Training Academy, the phone call with them made me feel a little more hopeful so booked a three day course.I was made very welcome, with Paul Singh, John and Din training I had time to ask questions and my strengths and weaknesses were noted, the subjects were covered thoroughly, the second day I did the practical exam in the workshop John made me feel much more relaxed and a pass was obtained, day three back in the class room, more detailed study, still with a relaxed atmosphere and by lunch time I was ready to take the computer test which despite a power failure (not my fault!) I passed.#

I would recommend ChillAir Training Academy to any engineer young or older, the industry still needs both.
