Confederación Nacional de Instaladores (CNI), the REAL Alternatives 4 LIFE National Lead for Spain, has licensed its first three Spanish Training Centres for the assessment and certification of technicians under this blended learning programme. The three training centres, DON BOSCO in Errenteria, SENFOASTUR in Oviedo and TIERRA de BARROS in Badajoz, are now ready to start offering REAL Alternatives courses. In order to gain their license and the right to issue certificates to technicians, the trainers at these centres had to undergo six hours of training and pass a theoretical and practical assessment on carbon dioxide and flammables in line with Spanish National legislation.
If you are interested in becoming a REAL Alternatives 4 LIFE approved centre, contact your National Lead.

Industry groups are joining together to help provide information on the safe use of alternatives such as ammonia, hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide and low flammables though the REAL Alternatives learning programme. Resources developed as part of the project offer innovative blended learning - a mix of e-learning, face-to-face training materials, practical exercises, assessments and an e-library of learning resources.
The free multi-lingual learning materials are available for individual development or use as classroom training materials. They include e-learning content, electronic tools, a comprehensive library gathered from existing resources. The e-library contains over 100 useful industry resources.
The project is co-funded by the EU LIFE Programme for environmental initiatives. www.realalternatives.eu
