Turn years of hands-on senior refrigeration and air conditioning servicing into the UEE42725 Certificate IV in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Servicing, a nationally recognised qualification covering high-level fault diagnosis and rectification, commissioning and maintenance of refrigeration systems and equipment applying to commercial food storage and preservation, air conditioning, air distribution equipment and special applications. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your senior servicing 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 Certificate IV as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study. This qualification meets the training components for the full national Refrigerant Handling Licence.

Assessors look for evidence of higher-level work than a trade certificate, not a set number of years. High-level fault diagnosis or rectification records, commissioning records for commercial food storage, air conditioning or special application systems, and other records of complex work you've carried out all support your case.
Yes, it's the exact same AQF-registered qualification, issued by an ASQA-registered RTO, regardless of the pathway taken to get it. RPL recognises the skills you've already built rather than being a different or lesser credential.
It's built around roles such as Air Conditioning Technician and Air Conditioning and Mechanical Services Technician working at a higher level, including project design and staff supervision. That reflects a step up from routine servicing work into taking responsibility for how jobs are planned and run.
Turn your high-level fault diagnosis and servicing experience into a nationally recognised Certificate IV qualification.
