In the modernization of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) sector, African women do not intend to be left behind.

This program, spread over 5 days from May 13 to 17, 2024, the first 3 days of which were devoted to practical training, followed by an exam on the FGas Regulation (non-flammable and fluorinated) and therefore on good practices in the management of refrigerants on the environment, on Thursday, then closed with a final examination, Friday May 17, 2024, on flammable refrigerants, their work was awarded a Diploma.

Crucial role of women in environmental protection

President of U-3ARC, Madi Sakandé, was delighted with their performance, emphasizing in passing that Ms. Sokhna Fall from Senegal, with 17/20 in the Alternative Refrigerants test, emerged Major of the Promotion. This rigorous training, which falls within the framework of the European Regulations on fluorinated gases and the Real Alternatives Program, awards Certificates which are valid throughout the European Union, he told us.

U-3ARC, which organized this training session in collaboration with the Centro Studi Galileo Institute and WRD, made no mistake and relied heavily on the Female Refrigeration Technician. For President U-3ARC, no one is better placed than the woman, who generally manages the home, particularly all the household appliances in the house which contribute to food preservation, among other things. In this sense, it plays an important role in the air conditioning sector and in protecting the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. By working to save energy, in energy efficiency, our wives, sisters and mothers contribute to it.
