Autotech Training offers IMI Level 3 air conditioning training courses for technicians. The 1 day IMI award in ‘Automotive Refrigerant Handling’ has been specifically designed to provide the knowledge, training and qualification necessary to satisfy EU legislation in the mobile air conditioning market. It is designed for anyone handling refrigerants within the automotive industry including mobile mechanics, garages, body shops, main dealerships and automotive dismantlers. On completion of this qualification, technicians will hold a valid certificate (attestation) to legally recover F-gas.    Alternatively, the 2-day IMI award in ‘Automotive Air Conditioning Servicing and Maintenance’ offers automotive technicians the opportunity to develop new skills and enhance existing ones. It also incorporates Unit AC1 (K/600/3391) Refrigerant Handling (EC842-2006). This unit is approved by Defra for MAC technicians (working with cars and car derived vans) who handle F-gas. Upon completion of this course technicians will legally be able to recover and handle F-gas and also service, maintain and repair vehicle air conditioning systems.   Air conditioning systems in vehicles are responsible for emitting F-gases, which pose a significant threat to the environment. The misuse and mismanagement of these gases can lead to further damage to the environment, which is why regulations have been put in place to minimize emissions. Autotech Training provides the necessary training courses and certifications needed to comply with legal requirements and handle F-gases responsibly. This training is essential, especially with the growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles. By ensuring that technicians are trained in handling F-gases responsibly, we can work towards a sustainable environment while enjoying the comfort of our vehicles' air conditioning systems.  For further information visit Specialist Automotive & MOT Training | Autotech Training
