The International Institute of Refrigeration have partnered with the pioneering online training provider, elearning-training. com to assist, primarily, developing countries to equip refrigeration and air conditioning engineers with the skills and knowledge required to fully utilise their potential.

Both organisations have teamed up to encourage continuing professional development and good practices through the delivery of self paced courses available anytime and anywhere. The only requirement is a computer with access to an internet connection.

Through this scheme, IIR members will be able to purchase a range of training courses on CO2 Refrigeration (http://www. elearning-training. com/C000152-CO2RefrigerationCourse. aspx), Refrigeration (http://www. elearning-training. com) Fundamentals, Air Conditioning (http://www. elearning-training. com/C00085-AirConditioningCourse. aspx) fundamentals and a newly launched preparatory course on F-Gas Regulations (http://www. elearning-training. com/C000167-F-GasRegulationsCourse. aspx) at reduced prices. It is expected that these courses will provide educational support to developing countries in order to comply with their refrigeration-related commitments under the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols.

The learning modules are designed to be delivered over the internet which makes them readily available to developing countries. The courses are accredited for CPD by CIBSE and the Construction CPD International Service.

IIR members resident in developing countries are entitled to a 50% discount on any course offered by elearning-training. com. The list of developing countries is based on published data from the OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and ISI - International Statistical Institute.

IIR members resident in developed countries will also benefit from the scheme by obtaining a 10% discount.

IIR members can utilise the special discount by using a "promotional code" that is available through the IIR's website www. iifiir. org. Use of this code during the online purchase process will automatically discount the price and once this process is complete, the member will have immediate access to the course..
