Advance payment must be received in the COCH bank account at least 3 business days before the course. For companies, we offer bank transfer settlement, while private individuals can pay exclusively in cash at the COCH cash desk on the day of training.
Course pricingThe training is designed for engineers, designers, service technicians, installers, and personnel responsible for the oversight and operation of industrial ammonia systems.
Ammonia (R717) is a natural, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly refrigerant that plays a crucial role in modern, large-scale industrial installations. Due to its specific physicochemical properties and strict safety regulations (HSE/BHP), the professional handling of these systems requires specialized theoretical and practical preparation.
Our technical training at COCH Kraków combines solid theoretical foundations with intensive practical exercises directly on a live ammonia chiller. This is a unique opportunity to analyze refrigerant phase states and practice safe start-up, regulation, and maintenance procedures under the supervision of top-tier industry experts.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive an official, widely recognized COCH Certificate of Completion, which significantly boosts their professional credentials and competitive position in the demanding industrial refrigeration job market.
An advance payment made at least 3 business days before the scheduled course guarantees your place. All original training materials, complete technical documentation, full catering (hot restaurant lunch), and free monitored parking at the COCH facility are included in the price.
