hamza, why would the 7189 be "better" than 6187?

hi tony, who is paul singh, never hurd of him, thanks

7189 is the newest refrigeration course from city and guilds, the course is only 2 years old and by next year nobody will be teaching 7189. at least thats what i was told. so best to study the new course.

also for those studying 7189 level 2. they do not need to do the F-gas separately as the the f-gas is built with in the diploma so by the time you finish 7189 level 2. you will have level 2 in refrigeration and air-condition plus f-gas in one diploma. also all colleges have stopped teaching NVQ level 2 as its all City and Guilds 7189

colleges have not stopped teaching 6187, also Fgas is done with 6187 and 7189 but that said i already hold cat 1 so that doesn't have any baring, the difference between course's is that 6187 is the NVQ which everyone is used to and 7189 is a diploma with no onsite verification, and since im about to finish 6187 there would be no sense in swapping to 7189...

i searched it up and yes, college's are still teaching the 6187, i just got told by college of north west london that 6187 will not long be tough anywhere and will be replaced by 7189.

But The City & Guilds 6087 NVQ in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Mechanical Engineering Services) and 6127 Technical Certificate/RVQ have being withdrawn for new entrants from September 2012

there is no point in you switching to 7189 since your finishing soon.

I myself have done the 7189 in college of north west London last year. there is no site verification as its all done in the workshop. we had to do a defrost wiring, current and potential relay, and also a full cold room and air conditioning installation. and the f-gas on the diploma is the new f-gas 209/509. its not a replacement its just a different fgas that goes with the diploma.

Don't confuse your course's.

6127 technical certificate & 6087 NVQ have been replaced by 6187.
The 6187 is valid and will be valid for many years to come.

The 7189 is a Diploma qualification and has no real practical element.
