PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as a Refrigeration Mechanic.

A Refrigeration Mechanic installs, commissions, services, maintains, overhauls, repairs and troubleshoots refrigeration systems in accordance to customer's requirements, industry and national standards in compliance with relevant national Legislation.

A qualified learner will be able to:
  • Install refrigeration systems.
  • Commission refrigeration systems.
  • Maintain, service, troubleshoot and repair refrigeration systems.

    Rationale:
    Refrigeration is an integral part of the economy found in many economic sectors and subsectors. Globalisation has brought with it technological changes that require employees to have skills and knowledge that will enable them to be in par with their counterparts. This requires learners to be trained in line with the latest technologies that will empower them to become employed or self-employed. This will enable learners to participate in the economy and thus be productive members of the society. In order to secure food stability and maintain quality for the entire population, refrigeration represents a critical skill in the maintenance of the cold chain.

    Refrigeration Mechanic has been identified as one of the occupations in high demand.

    Learners and current employees need to be trained against the latest technologies in order to ensure job security, advancement and placement.

    The qualification is aimed at new entrants as well as currently employed personnel. Qualified learners are likely to be employed across the economic sectors that include but not limited to: mining, retail, food processing, warehousing, food production, automotive, marine, medical, engineering, fruit and wine industry, cold transport, farming.

    This qualification is structured in such a manner that it will allow learners to progress to the full qualification by accumulating credits achieved from the part qualification.

    Learners who have acquired knowledge and skills formally or informally will undergo a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment in order to recognise skills acquired.

    Qualified learners are likely to progress into engineering related qualifications, which allow for further career progression into Designer, Refrigeration Inspector, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) Inspector. The qualification further enables learners to register with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA); as engineering technologist, engineering technician and mechanical engineer.

    Learners can become self-reliant, productive by being self-employed, thereby contributing positively to the economy and society and further provide employment opportunity.

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The South African Refrigeration Mechanic qualification has been compared with qualifications offered in New Zealand and Australia. These countries were chosen due to easy access to the required information.

    New Zealand:
    The South African Refrigeration Mechanic trade qualification has been compared with two trade qualifications registered on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority framework. These are the New Zealand Certificate in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Trade Assistant) (Level 3), Ref No. 2365, and the National Certificate in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Level 4), ref No. 0130, with 284 Credits.

    The New Zealand Certificate in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Trade Assistant) (Level 3), Ref No. 2365, provides learners with competencies that enable them to assemble, install and maintain refrigeration and air conditioning systems under supervision. The qualification has 120 Credits. Access and duration have not been specified.

    The National Certificate in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Level 4), ref No. 0130, with 284 Credits, allows learners to choose elective unit standards of their choice over and above the generic core unit standards. Elective unit standard from category A, which are listed below, have been found to compare favourably with the South African Refrigeration Mechanic qualification. Competencies covered in this category are:
  • Assemble and fabricate commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning system components.
  • Modify industrial refrigeration systems.
  • Commission commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning systems.
  • Commission industrial refrigeration systems.
  • Maintain commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning systems.
  • Perform maintenance operations on industrial refrigeration systems.
  • Service commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning systems.
  • Service industrial refrigeration systems.
  • Install commercial refrigeration and/or air conditioning systems.

    Learners who successfully complete this qualification can advance to the National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering, Level 5.

    Australia:
    The Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems trade qualification, UEE42911 has been found to cover competencies that are covered in the South African Refrigeration Mechanic.

    Upon completion of the Certificate IV in Refrigeration and Air-conditioning (UEE42911), learners will be able to:
  • Calculate heat loads.
  • Select equipment for basic commercial refrigeration or residential air-conditioning applications.
  • Adhere to regulatory requirements when purchasing and handling refrigerants.

    Similarities:
    Similarities have been found to be in terms of the type of qualifications, which are all trade qualifications; key competencies to be demonstrated by learners upon successful completion of the learning programme and adherence to regulatory requirements.

    Differences:
    Differences have been found to be in relation to:
  • The structure and components of the South African Refrigeration Mechanic qualification in relation to the qualifications offered in the two other countries selected. The South African Refrigeration Mechanic occupational qualification is structured into Knowledge Modules, Practical Skills Modules and Work Experience Modules. All these components must be completed in order for learners to be eligible for summative assessment. It has been found that the New Zealand qualification, in addition to the core unit standards, learners are allowed to choose elective unit standards according to their career choices.
  • The total number of credits assigned to the South African qualification is a lot higher than credits assigned to the international qualifications reviewed.
  • Entry level requirements for the South African qualification is Level 1 with Mathematics whilst with the New Zealand qualification, learners should have completed National Engineering Certificate, Level 2.
  • Competencies covered in the Australian trade qualifications are all covered in one South African Refrigeration Mechanic trade qualification.

    Conclusion:
    The South African Refrigeration Mechanic qualification compares favourably to the internationally reviewed qualifications.
