City & Guilds description of the 2079 qualification is "A licence to practise for those working on fluorinated gases (F-gases) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS) on stationary refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump system equipment in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland."

However there is no real entry level required in the UK, such a level might be NVQ2 or two year work experience.

Is there an entry requirement for F gas in other EU states?
