About This Qualification
This qualification covers competencies to develop strategies for the reduction of energy in buildings and to recommend changes in the way in which energy is controlled in the building, either by the installation of new control equipment or by the modification or re-programming of existing equipment. It includes regulatory requirements for purchasing and handling refrigerants. Competency development activities in this qualification are subject to regulations directly related to licencing. A relevant contract of training through an apprenticeship or relevant employment may be required to enable the application of the required knowledge and skills to on the job work activities and environments. Refrigerant Handling Licence: The achievement of the qualification meets the training components for the full national Refrigerant Handling Licence which is required to work on refrigeration and air conditioning equipment that carries the risk of a fluorocarbon refrigerant being emitted while decanting the refrigerant or manufacturing, installing, commissioning, servicing, maintaining or decommissioning refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Occupational Licence: Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to refrigeration/air conditioning work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations. Electrical Occupation Licence: The achievement of this qualification with the core restricted electrical units meet the electrical regulatory requirements for related restricted electrical work in most state/territories. This is required to work on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Current and historical resumes detailing HVAC and energy management roles
- ✓Detailed position descriptions for senior technician or supervisory positions
- ✓Employment contracts or letters of service from industry employers
Technical Documentation
- ✓Energy sector reports and building services energy management evaluations
- ✓System diagrams, control schedules, and equipment specifications
- ✓Commissioning logs and fault-finding reports for air-conditioning systems
Refrigerant & Compliance
- ✓Refrigerant recovery and charging logs
- ✓Records of safe handling of refrigerants and lubricants
- ✓Current or expired ARC Refrigerant Handling Licence documentation
Electrical & Control Systems
- ✓Evidence of diagnosing faults in single and three-phase motors
- ✓Documentation of work on low voltage refrigeration and air-conditioning circuits
- ✓Installation and service records for medium and low temperature systems
WHS & Quality Assurance
- ✓Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and risk control documentation
- ✓Site safety audit reports and personal competency development plans
- ✓Implementation records for environmental and sustainable policies
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
