Hi all,

New member here and after a little advice. Im 28 and currently working as a ducting fitter. I am wanting to make a move to the refrigeration side of things. Pipework, fitting, repairs etc.

I found a 10 day course for £1800 + Vat that offers the following;

You will acquire skills in:

pipework fabrication and jointingstrength and tightness pressure testingevacuation and dehydrationcharging, commissioning and leak checkingbasic electrical testing and record keepingrefrigerant recovery and disposalrecord keeping

How you will be assessed:

City & Guilds 2079 F Gas (Cat 1)City & Guilds 2081 Split Air Conditioning (Heat Pump) Installation & CommissioningBRA Level 3 Pipework and Flame Brazing.

So my question, are these courses really worth the paper they are written on? Will this enable me to get an entry level job or will i be in the same situation trying to get employed just 2k down?

Cheers guys,
Danny
