With the handy reference training manual, you can deepen your understanding of the environmentally correct equipment design and proper handling of these substances. The skills gained in this program will enhance your awareness about the environmental and health problems resulting from ozone depletion.
Students who successfully pass the in-class final exam with a mark of 75% or higher, will earn the Ozone Depletion Substances (ODS) Certificate. The certificate is issued by HRAI, and is valid in all provinces.
