In the October SAIRAC SA Johannesburg Centre online Tech Talk hosted by ACRA - Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Academy owner Grant Laidlaw, the future of #AirConditioning and #Refrigeration #Training was a central theme. With the legacy #TradeTests already phased out since June 30, 2024, the discussion focused on the transitional landscape and emerging qualifications in the industry. Outcome 1 and Outcome 2 Trade Tests Regarding the relationship between Outcome 1 (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) and Outcome 2 (Refrigeration for Fluorinated Refrigerants), Laidlaw explained that while both outcomes have distinct curriculums, learners interested in both will need to complete the necessary modules for each. They will need to address any gaps in their training to qualify for both outcomes and take their respective trade tests. A concern was raised about the potential gap in apprentices entering the system due to delays in implementing occupational qualifications. Laidlaw emphasised the importance of moving forward with these qualifications to avoid a shortage of apprentices. He acknowledged the need to continue integrating new systems while maintaining a steady flow of training and qualifications.
