Consort awarded full REFCOM certification

Consort are delighted to announce that they have been awarded full REFCOM certification. Refcom have registered over 4000 Companies at present of which only 288 had gained full certification and Consort is now one of these.

Consort’s decision to get ahead of the competition and invest in the training programme was taken for a number of reasons, not only to beat the predicted last minute rush for training in 2011 from many of the 40,000 engineers in the industry but also to provide peace of mind for its high profile customers that Consort can meet all of their requirements under the new regulations.

"The training typically meant an engineer was out of service for 3 days whilst undertaking the many theoretical and practical assessments of the CITB J11 Safe Handling of Refrigerants course selected by the company. As this is a new qualification to the industry, all engineers have to be re-qualified so we decided to train our entire field of engineers over a 6 month period so as to avoid any drop in service to our clients. We can now offer a full advisory service on F-Gas to our clients, to discuss their obligations and work together with them in devising a planned maintenance programme that not only ensures the optimum performance of their equipment but ensures their responsibilities under the regulations are covered." Mr. Dan Lovell explained.
