Airedale announces 2018 training plans

UK: Leeds-based air conditioning specialist and manufacturer, Airedale International, has published its 2018 training programme.

The range of BESA-accredited training courses are designed to enable students and engineers to install, commission and maintain today’s air conditioning systems, and keep them up-to-date with the latest developments in the industry.

Airedale International has been running the courses for more than 10 years, with classroom and practical instruction offered at its new training centre at its manufacturing plant in Leeds.

Opened last year, the centre has a classroom capacity for up to 22 students, a range of air conditioning and refrigeration training rigs, a brazing area and electrical area.

Designed from starter to expert, topics range from instruction on how to install, commission and maintain systems, to advanced techniques in maximising energy efficiency. The programme also includes a regulatory reassessment course in F-gas categories 1-4.

Airedale will also continue to offer CIBSE accredited CPD training tailored to specific needs.
