Summary

REAL SKILLS EUROPE is a voluntary awareness, information and training initiative that provides a vehicle for individuals and organisations in EU member states to share technical information and best practice in refrigerant containment. It offers a structured methodology for undertaking site surveys and assessing and minimising leakage potential, together with a certificated e-learning training scheme, software tools and guidance notes. A particular benefit to organisations in countries with less well developed RAC training schemes and late implementation of the F-Gas Regulations is that it can help them to achieve a more rapid and effective implementation, by learning from the experience of more advanced partner countries. The project is part-funded under the EU Lifelong Learning Programme and builds on a previous UK project (REAL Zero), that has proved effective in reducing refrigerant use at the sites that have been monitored. This paper describes the development of the EU project in the six partner countries and the results achieved to date.
