You will be assessed in-college on areas of service, maintenance and installation of complex refrigeration or air conditioning systems for both the theory and practical elements.

Candidates will build a portfolio of work based evidence, known as the Apprentice Development Journal, which will be reviewed by our assessors and will be used as a part of the End Point Assessment.
