Companies facing tightening economic conditions have been urged not to cut their training budgets by a leading UK provider Business Edge. Mike Creamer, Managing Director, said: “When trade is tight, companies instinctively cut back on marketing and training. Nevertheless, firms who hang back are going to be outpaced and outclassed by those who see F-Gas training as a golden opportunity to steal a march.

The truth is, there simply isn’t the capacity in the UK to cope with the 30,000 to 40,000 people who need training under F-Gas. ” Business Edge is among the first training providers in the UK to apply for City and Guilds accreditation to offer the new 2079 course, reveals the company’s press release. The F-Gas Regulation requires all those who work with refrigerant, or who break into systems, to have a compulsory qualification. City and Guilds recently agreed the content of the new course, C&G 2079, which will form the basis of F-Gas competence training.
