Hi Nadeem,

This is not an easy one to answer, as it depends on your starting point and which area of design you wish to enter.

A lot of people have entered the refrigeration industry as system design engineers after they have studied a qualification at higher levels in an appropiate subject. (HNC,HND, Fd in Refrigeration). They are then employed as a trainee design engineer, where they gain experience in system design.

There are alternative routes, and these may be more suitable.
