摘要

After a series of hard-fought regional heats, six talented apprentices studying up to Level 3 RACHP qualified for the World Skills UK LIVE final at Birmingham's NEC.Observed by expert judges, each finalist faced three air conditioning and refrigeration tasks designed to assess competence in building and commissioning, repairing and testing, and pipework and brazing, as well as electrical skills and, of course, safe working practice.The criteria for 2018 was the most rigorous yet, as lead judge Mark Forsyth explained: "This year evolved to incorporate elements of the new City & Guilds 6090 standard. This a test of essential subject matter knowledge, the application of key industry skills, and goes further than many expect by incorporating flame brazing standards."
