UK: Air conditioning and refrigeration specialist, Airedale International, has published its 2017 training programme with a range of courses suitable for all levels of knowledge.

Also included re regulatory reassessment courses in F-gas categories 1-4 for attendees to keep ahead of the fast approaching bans on refrigerants, quota reductions and the move towards low global warming potential refrigerants.

Airedale says it will also continue to offer CIBSE accredited CPD training which can be tailored to specific needs.
