What type of qualifications are needed to service air-conditioning equipment?
Various technical qualifications may be needed in addition to the ODP Card. For example, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities has developed the voluntary trade of Appliance Service Technicians, which also covers work on domestic appliances and window-mounted units. Also, in order to service anything larger than a single-phase, hermetically sealed, domestic self-contained unit with a factory mass-produced system, precharged with refrigerant, (e.g., central AC system), you need to possess a certificate of qualification as a Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Mechanic from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
