Additional considerations for this course

Construction site card
If students require a construction site card for their industry placement, schools and colleges may need to think about delivering the health and safety content of the technical qualification early.

FGas Category 1 Certificate (Refrigeration Engineering and Air Conditioning Engineering occupational specialism only)
Having a FGas Category 1 Certificate is a mandatory requirement in some workplace settings. Students may want to complete this certificate before doing their industry placement so they gave access to a wider range of placement opportunities. It may also improve their employment opportunities when they finish the course.
