Not every training course in ventilation technology includes the specialist approval for refrigerants and hygiene training B in accordance with SWKI VA104-01 / VDI 6022, so you should enquire about this detail directly with the individual training providers using our contact form.

Participants in the ventilation technology training course to become a service fitter or service technician for ventilation/air conditioning are expected to have completed an apprenticeship as a ventilation fitter, building services planner specializing in ventilation/air conditioning, building services planner specializing in refrigeration, refrigeration fitter or another professional qualification related to the air conditioning industry with several years of professional experience as a ventilation fitter. Persons with other professional qualifications or even without an apprenticeship qualification can also be admitted to the course if they have sufficient practical experience as a ventilation fitter.

Depending on the school and degree, training in ventilation technology takes three days (ventilation and air conditioning hygienist), nine months (ventilation/air conditioning service technician) and one year (ventilation/air conditioning service fitter).

Typical learning content of a service technician / service fitter ventilation technology training course is as follows:

• Basics of ventilation technology
• Components & Systems
• Installation, servicing and maintenance
• Electrical engineering & control
• Energy efficiency and the environment
• Safety and hygiene standards
