Green Cooling updates training courses

GERMANY: The Green Cooling Initiative has updated its natural refrigerant courses with more interactive content and improved navigation.

The Cool Training online course is hosted on the virtual learning platform Atingi and offers essential knowledge on refrigeration and air conditioning technology and explains the benefits of climate-friendly natural refrigerants.

The training is divided into two parts: Refrigeration Basics and Safe Handling of Natural Refrigerants. Each section is built around a core video that provides clear, accessible explanations of key topics. Supplementary materials, including a technical glossary, quizzes, and short games, support learners in deepening their understanding of the Cool Training content. 

The self-paced course takes approximately 120–180 minutes to complete. Upon successfully passing the test in each module, participants receive a Certificate of Completion. Although the course is designed primarily for professional technicians, trainers in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector, and representatives of National Ozone Units, it is open to anyone interested in (green) cooling technologies.

The courses are available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. To enrol, simply register on the Atingi platform and search for “Cool Training”.
