F-Gas Training & Refrigeration

Industry-leading F-Gas Training & Certification

F-Gas certification for RACHP installers

Worcester Bosch Training

F Gas Certification for refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump engineers

F Gas Certification is a legal requirement for refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) engineers working with Fluorinated Gases in accordance with the F Gas Regulations – the legislation which is phasing out harmful F Gases in favour of more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Why complete F Gas training with VIVA?

We run industry-leading F-Gas qualifications, including a Category 1 Level 3 course.

All of our F-Gas courses are taught by experienced technicians, who have a huge amount of industry knowledge. Training is delivered to a high standard, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

The F-Gas Career Sector is essential for those wanting to work with refrigeration.

If you want to work in refrigeration you will most likely need your F-Gas Certification. We deliver up to Category 1 certification, which covers all four different F Gas Categories, including leakage, recovery, installation, and maintenance. We also provide a category 2 course for applicants who do not meet the prior requisites.

F-gas stands for Fluorinated gases.

Holding your F-gas qualification opens the door to jobs like; Air Con installer, Air Con Repair, Air Conditioning Servicing, Commercial aircon installer as well as refrigeration technicians.

The main F-gas powered appliances are Fridges, Air Conditioning units/Heat pumps, and car refrigeration systems.

If you are wanted to start in the Refrigeration industry there are 1 day courses available which will let you begin your journey. If you are wanting to specialise in Air Conditioning, then an F-Gas Course would be the best next step.

If you are wanting to work on split system heat pumps and Air conditioning units or re-charge units then F-gas is the best step. If you are wanting to work on monoblock heat pumps then we would recommend Air Source Heat Pump.

If you are wanting to become a qualified Aircon Installer, the best way to start your career is with our F-Gas Level 3 (Category 1) course. This will teach you about fluorinated Gases and enable you to work on refrigerant systems  up to any size.

Brilliant ASHP course. Excellent training.
Just recently completed a fault finding course with the ever knowledgeable Roy Fugler.I honestly cannot rate this training centre and Roy highly enough!I completed my ACS training with them over two years ago and they were my number one choice when I decided to expand my knowledge around the inner workings of a boiler and how to diagnose the issues that often arise.I will have to re-sit my ACS again in a few years and there’s only one place I’ll be going. It’s VIVA all the way!
Well what can I say, if you need any of the training I highly recommend viva,Very knowledgeable trainers and great venue. 5*****

Absolutely wonderful training, very informative and excellent experience
Best course I have attended Unlike others which are showroom based don’t touch this or you left mark there.This was actually hands on course Different makes and models were in workshop both live and dead boilers also lots of sensor switches pumps,G valves etc. Pete was excellent made sure everyone understood what were they doing and what outcome or readings they were looking from each test carried out.pete put faults on live Boilers when we were away for break to simulate real world scenarios which was really good.Excellent would really recommend it.
