$500,000 per annum for HVACR continued professional development

2023-06-26

Cool-Safe is excited to announce its commitment to continued professional development (CPD) through the commissioning of an independent review to identify where additional resource is required. 

Dedicated CPD funding will be made available to support the outcomes of this review and may be used to enable initiatives such as: course content development, increased trainer capacity to support the transition to a regulated licensed workforce, and, or the creation of an programme to assess current competency and skills within the HVACR sector.   

The first step is to understand both current strengths and opportunities and to develop a plan to address these.  Further details will be released in July 2023, but in the meantime, please contact us using the link below with any questions.
