In a first for the UK’s temperature-controlled transport sector, Carrier Transicold has introduced a dedicated training programme that offers formal accreditation for engineers working on its fully electric product line. This initiative is designed to improve safety, elevate technical skills, strengthen accountability and build customer confidence across the company’s nationwide Service Partner network.
In collaboration with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and accredited training provider RWC Training, Carrier Transicold has established a fully certified programme to train its Service Partner field engineers in the safe installation and maintenance of its high-voltage electric products. Developed using IMI’s rigorous standards, Carrier Transicold and RWC designed the three-day programme to meet the IMI Level 3 standard, including a day focused exclusively on Carrier Transicold’s electric line. Training is conducted at RWC’s state-of-the-art facility in Milton Keynes.
Commenting on the programme, Mark Daniels, Service Director at Carrier Transicold UK, said, “Our goal was to develop a truly distinct training programme – one that’s recognised by a major industry body and positions Carrier Transicold at the forefront of the evolving electric refrigeration sector. This achievement, the result of nearly two years of close collaboration with the IMI and RWC, ensures our engineers will be amongst the most highly qualified in the country to work safely and effectively with high-voltage systems – an increasingly critical capability for the future.”
