Fortunately, Studium's training courses are here to help." url: "https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/opleidingen/koeltechniek/f-gases-a1-certificate/" language: "nl" --- The new standard for refrigeration mechanics # F-gassen A1 certificaat Engelstalig - 14 days - Fully in line with the new standards Soon, F-gases and flammable refrigerants will all fall under the A1 certificate. Starting in 2029, you are only allowed to work with these refrigerants if you have this new certificate. The **F-gases A1 training** at Studium fully prepares you for this combined certificate. You will learn to work on systems with F-gases and flammable alternatives like propane and isobutane. Safe, practical, and fully tailored to the official A1 exam. Afterwards, you are qualified to work independently on all cooling systems, no matter the type or amount of refrigerant. And this is valid for the next seven years.

They require discipline. Propane and isobutane are efficient, but also extremely flammable. Not just during installation, but also during use. That is why, at Studium, you learn to work under real conditions. With actual flammable refrigerants, in a practice room that meets all safety standards. This way, you become familiar not only with the technology, but most importantly, with how to work safely. Because you can only truly install safely when you understand the risks. ## Advies nodig?

The balance between practice and theory is 50/50\. This way, you know exactly how to apply everything in your daily work. What will you learn?Who is this for?CostsCompletionRegister ### **What will you learn?** In this training, you will learn to work safely and professionally with different refrigerants, both synthetic and flammable. You will work on realistic installations, perform measurements and inspections, learn to braze under nitrogen, and adjust components. You will practice with real situations: from TRAs (Task Risk Analyses) and ATEX zoning to safely burning off (flaring) flammable refrigerants. Theory and practice come together, so you can confidently take the A1 exam. **Topics include:** - The cooling circuit, physical principles & system structure - Working with F-gases: filling, vacuuming, finding leaks, and logbooks - Working safely with propane, isobutane, and other flammable refrigerants - ATEX, EX-zones, and the relevant safety rules (NPR 7600, EVD, LMRA) - Brazing and making flare connections according to the standards - Inspection, diagnosis, and adjustment of cooling systems You will learn exactly what you need to start working independently and safely, in the real world and according to the law. ### Who is this for? Will you soon be working on systems with flammable or synthetic refrigerants? Such as heat pumps, cooling systems, or air conditioners? Then you will soon need the A1 certificate. This training is for anyone who wants to work safely and professionally with installations filled with propane, isobutane, or synthetic refrigerants. You will learn exactly what you need to do in practice: from installation and maintenance to leak detection and inspection. ### **Costs** **€ 5.150,00 excl. VAT**Including course materials and catering_Excluding exam_ **Please note:**This price does not include the exam. The exam is conducted by an official exam board (STEK). The exam costs € 920.00 excl. VAT. ### **Completion** After this course, you will take an exam. An independent organization (STEK) conducts the exam according to the BLR 200 standards for F-gases A1\. The exam consists of a theory test and a practical test. Upon successful completion of the exam, you will receive the F-gases A1 certificate, which is valid for 7 years. ### Register Want to sign up for this course right away? [Inschrijven wachtlijst](#wachtlijst) ### So, after this training - You know how to work safely with flammable and synthetic refrigerants. - You can pressure test, vacuum, fill, and check for leaks in installations — according to the standards. - You carry out pressure tests, inspections, and diagnoses on cooling systems. - You can make brazed joints under nitrogen and create flare connections. - You know the risks of explosions and how to prevent them (ATEX, TRA, EVD). - You are ready for the A1 exam and to receive the legally recognized certificate. The A1 certificate is valid for 7 years. After that, you are required to recertify to keep your license. This training is relevant for anyone who works (or will be working) on systems with refrigerants, such as: - (Apprentice) refrigeration mechanics - HVAC installation mechanics _(w-installaties)_ - Heat pump mechanics - Commissioning engineers - Building service and maintenance technicians [Inschrijven wachtlijst](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/opleidingen/koeltechniek/f-gases-a1-certificate#inschrijven) ![Bootcamp Koudetechniek](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/4B4B6433-scaled-1.jpg?width=1000 "4B4B6433-scaled-1") ## Our trainers - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Albert-Jan-Hop-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Albert-Jan-Hop-scaled-1") ### Albert-Jan Hop Trainer Koeltechniek en Warmtepompen - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Eduard-van-Druten-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Eduard-van-Druten-scaled-1") ### Eduard van Druten Trainer Koeltechniek en Warmtepompen - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Henk-van-Breda-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Henk-van-Breda-scaled-1") ### Henk van Breda Trainer Koeltechniek en Warmtepompen - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Pieter-Dekker-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Pieter-Dekker-scaled-1") ### Pieter Dekker Trainer Koeltechniek - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/1K9A2376-Berry-klein.jpg?width=512 "1K9A2376-Berry-klein") ### Berry Zumbrink Trainer Koeltechniek en Warmtepompen - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Raymond-Cordier-de-Croust-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Raymond-Cordier-de-Croust-scaled-1") ### Raymond Cordier de Croust Trainer Klimaattechniek - ![](https://studium.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/09/Roelof-Robbertsen-scaled-1.jpg?width=2560 "Roelof-Robbertsen-scaled-1") ### Roelof Robbertsen Trainer Koeltechniek Er zijn op dit moment geen inschrijfmogelijkheden beschikbaar.
