Turn years of hands-on senior refrigeration and air conditioning engineering work into the UEE62525 Advanced Diploma of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering, a nationally recognised qualification covering the design and validation/evaluation of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and systems, risk management, project estimation and management, and technical advice or sales, including the ethical and responsible application of mathematics, science and engineering techniques. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your senior refrigeration and air conditioning engineering experience to be formally assessed against this qualification rather than starting your learning over. Once your evidence is assessed and confirmed by our partner RTO, you hold the same AQF-recognised Advanced Diploma as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study. This qualification meets the training components for the full national Refrigerant Handling Licence.

Your fees are confirmed before you commit — no surprises.
After your initial consultation, you'll receive a personalised quote that includes your total fee based on your individual advised pathway, the name of the assessing RTO, and all available payment options. No payment is required until you've reviewed and accepted your quote.
We're committed to your outcome — and we back that with our refund policy.
Our navigators support you through the process to help ensure your portfolio meets the RTO's requirements before it's submitted. If the RTO finds your application ineligible after portfolio submission, you may be entitled to a refund of fees paid to ATSR, in accordance with our and the RTO's refund policy.
Assessors look for evidence of senior design and technical work, not a set number of years. Refrigeration or air conditioning system design or validation and evaluation records, risk management or project estimation records, and technical advice, sales or specification documentation you've prepared all strengthen your case.
Yes, it's the exact same AQF-registered qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, regardless of the pathway used to get it. RPL recognises skills you've already built rather than offering a different or lesser credential.
It's built around roles like Senior Technical Officer (Electrical Engineering) and Technical Officer (Electrical Engineering), covering designing, validating and evaluating electrical equipment and systems, managing risk and project work, and providing technical advice or sales. That points toward senior technical and design-focused work rather than routine servicing.
