Re: C&g 2079
On the course they should have told you about car AC/
Car AC is not yet covered by Fgas and as for Halfords selling 134a, The letter
of the law stated that they could sell off existing stock. The trouble is they gave companies
about 6 years notice to stock pile reserves of the stuff.

Re: C&g 2079
Thats the grey area.
No in short.
For you or any one else to work on any form of fridge circuit, a qualification
is required and the minimum is the C&G 2079 or CITB J11.
Fgas does not effect you!!!! You still need to be qualified to a minimum standard
to prove your competant, but Fgas does effect the customer. Fgas now makes
the customer responsible, legaly for all fridge and AC on his premisses.
But only if there is a charge of more than 3Kg's inside it.
You still need the qualification to work on the fridge, AC or car, but not because of
Fgas. You need qualifications because they have refrigerants inside. The level of qual
depends on the weight of refrigeration. You could be Cat 2 and only legaly work on systems
less than 3Kg.
All the best

Sorry, but I beg to differ - C&G 2079 is not required to work on vehicles. C&G 2079 is only needed to work on STATIC fridge systems.
There are lower standard qualifications which satisfy the European Government - one of which is C&G 5101 Unit 1.
There are others.Tony

Re: C&g 2079
I am taking the 2079-101 exam later this month and as i consider myself pretty experienced i thought i would have a bash at taking the exam only, however, there are some elements of the Test Specifications that i am not too familiar with such as the newer regulations / environmental stuff.
Is there a publication which covers all of the items in the exam or is it exclusively Test Centre material?
Just thought I could do with some 'light reading' material for my hols

Re: C&g 2079
Took it last week without doing the course. (nearly 40 years experience though). Passed, along with a slaughterman, a dough kneader, a bloke who makes things from wax, and seven eastern european, car washers. The dough kneader couldn't get out of the building because he didn't know which way to turn the doorknob. The eastern europeans have been promised the contract for the refrigeration and a/c service for a national petrol station / supermarket chain. The slaughterman was relieved to be able to change trades as qualifications for his job have become pretty tough. The wax modeller was indifferent and said that it was a choice between C&G 2079 or starting a cannabis farm. He chose 2079 because it may lead on to him being able to heat his attic more efficiently.
I'm just happy I passed and can now look forward to the increased competition, safe in the knowledge that I'll have to reduce my prices by about 80%.

Re: C&g 2079
I think you will find the chillerman has a sense of humour
But if you are returning and think the qual is a breeze, think again and do some proper research and revision.
People are failing this exam and some are so called experienced and qualified.
You might be very good and know all the required information, which if true is good. But
if you walk in thinking it is a breeze you may be in for a rude shock.
All the best

Re: C&g 2079
Thanks Taz, for setting him straight
Turbo as Taz has also said this is not a breeze, you will need to understand fundamentals & carry out practical to include charging/decanting/pressure/strength testing, brazing, refrigerant logs & new legistlation's .... it's a bit more than the old 2078 & there have been many that have needed to return + retake the test/course
If you need a full breakdown of what you need to know/do am sure between us we could give you a more accurate breakdown

Re: C&g 2079
`I fail to see your point.
I too have from 1982 2 Distinctions and a credit and in 1990ish a 2077, 1994ish a 2078 and 2009
a 2079................
Are you saying that a qualification in 1982 is all you need to prove
you are still current and upto date with new laws and standards????
cool runnings

Re: C&g 2079
Passed mine today, I have to say though I thought the 2078 and the old CITB was harder. Apparrantly there is a new pipe work and brazing qualification in the pipeline that will be out in the next 12 months. Whether or not I'll be doing that remains to be seen. I only did the 2079 because I am getting interest from clientel with more than 6kg in their systems who are enquiring about leak testing and energy efficiency. So I thought I would have a better chance of getting the work if I had a credential and refcom membership. Otherwise I would have carried on without it!
Training may be finished but experience is never complete.

Re: C&g 2079
Now is the time you all started to go for the un vented hot water qualification....... then you can start stamping on the wet trades patch. They've been jumping onto the f gas qualification so they can work on Heat pumps and they see heat pumps as not just boiler replacement but also split systems and a whole new territory for heating work! Beware the Plumbers are coming....

Re: C&g 2079
How is the lower qualification I.e. 5101 or now 7543 a lower qualification when it's level 3 and 2079 is only level 2
Unit 1 is only part of the qualification!Tony
