Trainee Air Conditioning Engineer

[MJ1]

Hello, I am about to apply for a job as a Trainee Air Conditioning/ service Engineer, Although the details say full product training will be provided, It also states " the candidate should hold the safe handling certification" What would this be? I have found a 2 day course, CITB Safe Handling of Refrigerants Certificate in Brigend, Wales but live in Scotland. Could anyone suggest any where in scotland that does the required course?
Any help or advice regarding the application would be great.
Thanks

If you already have it, why do it again?

There is a place in Glasgow that does it but I can't remember the name it it.

I don't already have it but the job details state, that candidates should hold it, even though the job is trainee.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Will have a look into the links given.

Be careful here. Some refrigerant handling courses are really only assessments which means you must have prior knowledge and experience to answer all the questions plus charge and recover refrigerant from a system. Other courses have extra tuition which I think would be your best bet. Look at the following organisations websites for locations.
IOR
ACRIB
CITB
City & Guilds

Good luck
