Beijer Ref Academy

Beijer Ref Academy The Beijer Ref Academies showcase the very latest in sustainable refrigeration products. Understanding people is also a key part of our everyday life.

The Beijer Ref Academies are dedicated refrigeration training centres offering practical workshops that cover in-depth product training and industry recognised courses including refrigerant handling, brazing and electrical testing. These include a CO2 ‘pack’ connected to refrigerated cases and evaporators which replicate a typical retail environment. Plus CO2 & A2L packaged condensing unit systems

and a CO2 air to water heat pump, all fully operational. The Beijer Ref Academies are managed by experienced refrigeration engineers with a wealth of industry and product knowledge with a passion to share it. Courses have been constructed by engineers for engineers offering more ‘hands on’ training than ‘PowerPoint’

Working closely with the manufacturers of refrigeration equipment the Beijer Ref Academies offer Factory Approved training which should give you peace of mind knowing that only the best training is provided. The Beijer Ref Academies are both City and Guilds and BESA approved and can offer all the ‘standard’ training courses. The Beijer Ref Academies recognise the need for non-product specific training. With this in mind we have introduced the ‘Chameleon’ module which is designed to help you and your team understand themselves and their colleagues to develop a more respectful and productive working relationship. Bespoke training courses are a key element to the Beijer Ref Academies portfolio. You may need additional coaching in a certain area not normally covered by training centres, or you may feel your team needs refresher courses on certain topics. The Beijer Ref Academies are here to help and willing to tailor make a course to suit your needs.
