F-Gas courses explained.
Working with refrigerants? These answers explain the F-Gas qualifications and when to renew.
Level 3 Category 1 is the UK standard, covering all F-Gas activities regardless of system size. It is legally required to handle fluorinated gases in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems.
You need either a recognised qualification in refrigeration, heating and ventilation or a related sector, or a minimum of two years of auditable experience in the HVACR industry.
Experience-route candidates must provide a letter from their employer confirming how long they have worked in refrigeration or air conditioning, that the work was alongside a qualified registered engineer, and what types of units and systems they worked on. All candidates need a good practical working knowledge of soldering and brazing.
If you do not meet these requirements, you must complete the Basic F-Gas Refrigeration course first.

Five days, combining theory and practical training, assessed by an open book written examination and a practical skills test.
Successful candidates receive a regulated LCL Awards Level 3 RQF certificate covering all four F-Gas categories. The qualification is DEFRA approved, which is what makes it valid for legal F-Gas work and accepted by refrigerant suppliers.
The exam fee is included in the course price, and each candidate receives the training manual.

Every five years. The reassessment takes two days and keeps categories 1 to 4 valid.
There is no grace period, so book before your certificate expires rather than after.

Not if your brazing is already sound, but it is the most common reason candidates struggle with the Level 3 practical assessment.
Good practical brazing ability is an entry expectation rather than something taught from scratch on the Category 1 course, so if you have not brazed regularly, or you are moving across from a trade where you did not, it is worth addressing first.
The Refrigeration and AC Pipework Oxy-Fuel Brazing course covers the joining techniques used across refrigeration and air conditioning pipework.
