An exciting attraction at this year’s RAC09 (NEC, Birmingham, 24-26 February 2009) will see leading industry wholesaler HRP once again take a prominent role in the event with the daily HRP Skills Challenge.

The HRP Skills Challenge will set out to assess the refrigeration and air-conditioning knowledge of visitors as they pit their wits against their peers in a special twenty question, twenty minute quiz. Promising to put the practical skills and fault-finding expertise of participants under the microscope, the HRP Skills Challenge will also test their understanding of key legislative and health and safety requirements in a critical but entertaining examination. Each day one refrigeration and air conditioning ‘mastermind’ will walk away with a bag of brand new equipment, specially selected by HRP. Prizes will be kept under wraps until the day itself, when the name of the winner will be revealed. 

The daily HRP Skills Challenge is a key part of programme for the RAC Service Engineer Skills Centre, sponsored by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Consisting of a series of 45-minute sessions over three days, the RAC Service Engineer Skills Centre will be a unique, hands-on forum giving visitors the information and advice they need to stay ahead of the technical, legislative and health and safety topics that are central in the day-to-day work of RAC contractors and service engineers. The industry experts leading the sessions will give live demonstrations and real-life filmed examples whilst offering invaluable access to their experience. There will also be a chance to ask questions either during presentations or afterwards. Attendance to the Service Engineer Skills Centre or involvement in the HRP Skills Challenge is free and open for all visitors, reveals the organizer’s press release.
