3-day Training / 12 Month Enrolment

This course is designed for automotive employees seeking to obtain an Automotive Air Conditioning Licence from ARC, which enables them to service and diagnose equipment containing automotive-type air conditioning systems in light vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, mobile plant, and agricultural equipment.

This course is for qualified automotive technicians, suitably skilled learners who are currently working in the automotive industry, and third or fourth-year apprentices who have been awarded sufficient units to meet the air conditioning qualification requirements.

Learners develop the knowledge and skills underpinning the servicing and repair of automotive air conditioning components and systems found in light vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, mobile plant and agricultural equipment. Learners develop safe work practices and environmental awareness while carrying out performance tests, diagnosis, de-gassing, repairs, re-gassing and verification of repairs to light vehicles. These skills are transferable to other automotive sectors.

 

Special requirements

A learner cannot attend this course without holding a valid trainee refrigerant handling licence from the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC). To obtain a trainee refrigerant handling licence you will need to enrol in this course and then follow the instruction that will be sent to you.

This course is broken down into two parts:

  • Part A

This comprises of a 3 day training and assessment course to complete the 3 air conditioning units. During this course all requirements for the specialist air conditioning units will be attained. Note: this does not give you the full qualification as part B is required to attain the full qualification.

  • Part B

The completion of the 10 remaining units can be achieved through one of two options: credit transfer or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

  1. Credit transfer pathway: This is for learners who have recently achieved an AUR qualification or learners/apprentices with enough units to apply to the qualification. Relevant units of competency will be marked as credit transfers upon producing a recognised academic record showing a list of units that have been deemed competent from a previous qualification (e.g., AUR30616). Where there is an insufficient number of units listed on the record to apply and award the qualification, RPL may be required for additional units.
  2. RPL pathway: This is for qualified automotive technicians or experienced industry personnel who have achieved training/learning through trade experience. To complete the RPL process, learners are required to produce sufficient evidence to achieve the required core and elective units of competency for the qualification. This will include collection of work evidence (job cards, work orders), satisfactory completion of written questions, and having a third-party signatory to verify industry skills. Once the evidence has been submitted and assessed as competent via RPL, the units may be applied to the qualification.

To be awarded the AUR20220 Certificate II in Automotive Air Conditioning Technology qualification, learners must successfully achieve 13 units of competency (6 core and 7 elective) by assessment of competency.
