The Pressure testing training course including Strength Test and Tightness Test comprises two stand alone elements which can be undertaken independently or in conjunction: a theory online course (certified by CIBSE for CPD) and a practical training and assessment day at any of our 9 UK centres.

The online theory interactive course covers safe working practices for pneumatic testing of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning systems with inert gases. The course includes some questions for self testing the knowledge gained.

Additional practical training and assessment including carrying out pressure testing and correctly answering oral and written questions, is available, this should be completed before successful candidates can be recommended for carrying out Pressure Testing. On return to their work place candidates should be advised to carry out tests under supervision until deemed competent by their employer.
