Women in RACHP network training day

UK: The IoR Women in RACHP Network is to hold its next training day on June 22 to celebrate the 2018 International Women in Engineering Day.

The theme of the 2018 event, entitled Raising the Bar, is open to anyone working in, or who has an interest in, the refrigeration air conditioning and heat pump sector. 

The day will be a mix of personal development and practical hands on experience. The morning session is a beginners guide to service and maintenance. Those attending will gain a better understanding of the importance of servicing and maintaining equipment and also the role of a service engineer. This is a  practical session for both technical and non-technical staff.   

The afternoon workshop will look at ways to change your thinking and in turn change how you react to situations, to get the best outcome possible.

This session will be delivered by Lisa Walker a master practitioner of NLP & Master Coach.

The venue for the event is the Fujitsu UK air conditioning headquarters in Elstree, Herts.

Places are limited and delegates will receive a CPD certificate on completing the course.
