Stay Ahead in the Evolving HVACR Industry
With traditional refrigerants being phased out, Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) alternatives—many of which are mildly or highly flammable—are becoming the new standard. This course provides essential safety training for working with A2L and A3 refrigerants.

Course Topics Include:

• Refrigerant safety
• Introduction to Low GWP refrigerants
• Refrigerant properties and characteristics
• The refrigeration cycle
• Working with refrigerant blends
• Proper installation and service guidelines
• Flammable refrigerant considerations
• Explanation of the associated codes and standards for A2L refrigerants

Exam: A 50-question, closed-book exam validates your knowledge in:

• General Flammable Refrigerant Safety Knowledge
• Core ACR Knowledge
• Flammable System Service Safety
• Flammable System Installation Safety
• Flammable Refrigerant Transportation and Handling Safety

Who Should Attend:
Technicians, students, and HVACR professionals seeking certification and safety training for today’s refrigerant systems.
