Our Marine Refrigeration Course (City & Guilds 2079-11) covers the principles of refrigeration for the marine and offshore industry and is an in-house, 5 day course based at our Somerset, UK and Palma, Spain training centres.

We are a City & Guilds accredited training provider and our bespoke course content is put together using years of hands-on experience. Due to the in-depth nature of our course, our students have an extremely high first-time pass rate of over 95% and an overall pass rate of 100% since 2021.

To assist you with your learning experience, you will receive a study pack including our bespoke study guide and access to our mock questions booklet. You are given time to revise the theory material and tinker with our training rigs, with our experienced trainers on-hand to answer any questions.

Our classrooms are limited to small groups to allow each student the best possible chance of success, with a maximum of 8 students per course in Somerset and 6 students per course in Palma.

The first two days look at the theory of thermodynamics, the vapour compression cycle, energy efficiency and the repair process. The next two days are fully practical, and you will be trained on how to repair a system to industry standards. You will complete your theory exam on the final day.

If successful in both the practical and theory exam, you will earn your City & Guilds Level 2 Awards in F Gas and ODS Regulations: Category I. This includes a City & Guilds certificate in both digital and physical format.

Re-sits are available the same day for students who are unsuccessful on their first attempt.

Some of the types of equipment we discuss include:

  • Provisions Refrigeration Systems including multiple evaporator circuits
  • Chilled Water Systems
  • Seawater Cooling Units
  • Air Conditioning Chillers
  • Auxillary Refrigeration Systems
  • Galley Walk-in Cooler and Freezer Rooms
  • Control Room Air Conditioning Systems
  • Electrical Switchroom Cooling Systems

  1. Elliot L –

    A well crafted course delivered by a knowledgable instructor. The practical aspect has given me greater confidence to tackle on board refrigeration plant maintenance and a methodology for fault diagnosis. Well worth doing.

  2. James C –

    I really enjoyed the Marine and Offshore HVAC course. Stuart clearly knows his stuff inside out and, just as importantly, knows how to teach it. He tied the theory back to real systems we’ll actually meet on board, which made it far easier to take in, and he was always happy to take questions and dig into specific problems from our own boats.

    The pace was right and the practical side was well organised. As a working yacht engineer, I’m coming away with knowledge I’ll use straight away.

    Stuart kept the energy high the whole way through. No temperature drop here, the course was genuinely cool. I’d recommend it to any engineer looking to build their HVAC skills.

  3. Ben W –

    Absolutely brilliant course (the 5 day refrigeration course) with a very knowledgeable instructor who has the knack for teaching what is normally a dark art subject into something completely manageable and understandable. Have since used the skills learnt on the course at sea in real situations on my vessels refrigeration plants, which is extremely satisfying! Stuart is always quick to help if you have any query’s as well. Cheers Stuart!

  4. James T –

    Did the 5 day maritime refrigeration course and it gave me the knowledge and practical skills required to undertake jobs i will be reqiured to undertake at sea.

    Stuart is a very good teacher and is able to break down a subject i struggled to understand before.

    Would definitely recommend to any of my colleagues

  5. Alejandro F –

    I had an incredibly valuable week in Taunton, UK, immersing myself in a comprehensive range of modules covering both theoretical and practical aspects of marine and offshore refrigeration.

    A huge thank you to Stuart Ginbey and the entire Tradewinds Engineering Ltd team for providing such a wonderful experience and sharing their extensive knowledge.

    I highly recommend this course to all engineers looking to enhance their skills and expertise in refrigeration.

  6. Kwok L –

    Have been working in the refrigeration and air conditioning trade for awhile. Found the course very helpful and informative. The length of course is good at 5 days. Highly recommend Tradewinds.

  7. Louis S –

    Great Course, great content, enjoyed the whole process, very highly recommended.

  8. Ashleigh C –

    Really enjoyed the course. I’ve come away with a far greater knowledge of how a AC system works. Thank you Stewart for your teaching!

  9. Chris W –

    A great course for refrigeration, great detail and explanation of systems.

  10. James C –

    Excellent course. Stuart explains complex systems clearly, links everything back to real on-board kit, and makes it genuinely enjoyable. I’ve left with practical knowledge i will use straight away as a yacht engineer. Highly recommend.

  11. Thomas K –

    The Training delivered by Tradewinds is to a very high standard. Stuart the course leader is very knowledgeable and brings the course to live with real world applications through out.

  12. David M –

    Great course for all knowledge/skills levels with highly knowledgeable and experienced instructor
