Overview
The Certificate IV in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Servicing equips students with skills for installing, maintaining, and repairing HVAC systems. The course covers electrical and mechanical principles, refrigerant handling, and fault diagnosis, combining theory with practical training. Graduates are prepared for roles as technicians in the industry and can pursue further specialization or licensing.
Please Note:
This qualification will only fulfil the academic requirements, not a licensed trade qualification. Occupational licences are required if you want to work as an electrician nationally. You will require a licence to practise in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical equipment or installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. The NSW ERAC Occupational License meets NSW regulatory requirements NSW for individuals undertaking work related to electrotechnology. Visit NSW Fair Trading and ERAC website for more information. Practice in workplace and during training is subject to regulations directly related to occupational health and safety.

Licensing Requirements
Occupational licences are required if you want to work as an electrician nationally. You will require a licence to practise in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical equipment or installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. State and territory jurisdictions have different regulatory requirements depending on the level of licensing you need. Check with your state or territory licensing and regulatory authorities regarding their educational requirements. The Certificate III in Electrotechnology – Electrician qualification also meets part of the requirements for the issue of a Qualified Supervisors Certificate Electrician. This allows you to work unsupervised on low voltage fixed wiring and equipment and to supervise others undertaking this work. Visit NSW Fair Trading or your equivalent state regulatory body for more information.

Course Credit
Course Credit is the value assigned for the recognition of equivalence in content and learning outcomes between different types of learning and/or qualifications. Course Credit reduces the amount of learning required to achieve a qualification and may be through Credit Transfer (CT) and/or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Students may apply for RPL or Credit transfers for any unit in which they can successfully demonstrate competency.
