We are excited to launch our latest range of Refrigeration training from The Clean Cooling Academy.
Refrigeration plays an extremely important role for food and health; and the need is growing rapidly as our climate warms. It is also a vital means to reduce food loss, increase income for farmers and food chain operators and ensure highly nutritious products are available for all.
We are offering a range of refrigeration courses with essential hands-on training in many areas from the best practices for maintaining optimal product temperatures in post-harvest management, to the importance of monitoring the performance of cold chain equipment.
"This isn't just a day in the classroom, come join us and learn from facilitator-led discussions, practical workshops, interactive activities and meet like-minded students."

Refrigerants: selection, safety & environmental impact
This one-day intensive training is designed to build essential understanding of refrigerant types, their properties, safety classifications, and the environmental implications of their use - equipping participants to make informed and responsible choices in refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) applications.
Refrigeration Fault Diagnosis & Troubleshooting
As cooling systems become more complex, the ability to quickly and accurately diagnose faults is critical for ensuring optimal system performance, minimizing downtime, reducing operational costs, and maximising energy efficiency.
General Health and Safety In Refrigeration
Participants will be introduced to essential safety concepts including hazard identification, risk assessment, personal protective equipment (PPE), electrical safety, emergency procedures, and the safe handling of tools and equipment. Emphasis will be placed on practical, real-world applications.
Temperature management and monitoring in post-harvest management
Effective post-harvest management is a cornerstone of a resilient and profitable fresh produce supply chain. Amongst the various practices involved, temperature control and monitoring stand out as the first line of defence in preserving quality, safety and reducing losses.
Brazing Techniques for Refrigeration Systems
In the refrigeration industry, the quality of brazed joints is critical. Whether installing or repairing systems, proper brazing ensures leak-free, durable, and efficient performance. It helps prevent refrigerant loss, reduces environmental impact, and supports the safe use of natural refrigerants, which may be flammable or toxic.
Temperature Measurement and Control in Refrigeration
Temperature is one of the most critical variables in ensuring the quality, safety, and efficiency in refrigerated environments. In both health and agricultural product handling, improper temperature control can result in spoilage, energy waste, and regulatory non-compliance.
Introduction to Sustainable Refrigeration for a Cooler World
