F-Gas certification

Which category do you actually need?

Category is set by what you do to the system and how much refrigerant is in it — not by job title. If you're buying gas or pre-charged kit from TRADE, this is the certificate we verify.

I

Category I

Full scope. Leak checking, recovery, installation, maintenance and decommissioning on any system size. The one most installers need.

3 days initial · 1 day recert See dates →
II

Category II

Systems containing under 3kg of refrigerant (6kg hermetically sealed). Covers most domestic and small commercial splits.

2 days including assessment See dates →
III

Category III

Refrigerant recovery only, on systems under 3kg. For engineers who strip out but don't install or service.

1 day including assessment See dates →
IV

Category IV

Leak checking only, with no breaking into the refrigerant circuit. Common for maintenance and FM teams.

1 day including assessment See dates →
Not sure? Call 0333 090 7546 and describe the work — we'll tell you the category, and we won't sell you a bigger one than you need. Company certificates are issued by an approved certification body; CLIMB delivers the training and assessment.

How we run it

Small groups. Working engineers. Assessment on the day.

1

Small practical groups

You get real time on the rigs rather than a queue behind them.

2

Assessment included, sat on site

No second trip and no separate exam fee. City & Guilds and F-Gas assessments are done in our own exam room.

3

Certificate straight to your TRADE account

Pass an F-Gas course and we can pass the certificate to TRADE the same day, so your wholesale account unlocks refrigerant without you chasing it.

4

On-site delivery for teams of six or more

We'll bring the rigs to you. Popular with FM contractors and housing providers.
