Training & Professional Development

Cooling and cold-chain training from our team of expert practitioners

The Clean Cooling Academy offers a growing range of educational and professional development courses covering a variety of general and cooling specific topics.

We are working with industry and other partners to develop and deliver a series of training programmes and modules around cooling and cold-chains.

All courses are delivered by experienced specialist practitioners. Some courses are fully online, others in-person or hybrid. Many of our in-person courses are repeated multiple times a year, in different countries. The range of fully online courses on offer is set to grow rapidly over the coming months and a key objective running through the core of our activities will be integrating women and youth into our training platforms.
