Need to learn more about refrigeration?

We are excited to launch our latest range of Refrigeration training from The Clean Cooling Academy.

Refrigeration plays an extremely important role for food and health; and the need is growing rapidly as our climate warms. It is also a vital means to reduce food loss, increase income for farmers and food chain operators and ensure highly nutritious products are available for all. 

We are offering a range of refrigeration courses with essential hands-on training in many areas from the best practices for maintaining optimal product temperatures in post-harvest management, to the importance of monitoring the performance of cold chain equipment.

"This isn't just a day in the classroom, come join us and learn from facilitator-led discussions, practical workshops, interactive activities and meet like-minded students."
