Refrigerant Handling Licence (RHL)
Map every requirement of the Refrigerant Handling Licence domain into a one-page checklist of obligations
Define the key refrigerant-handling terms and licence scope conditions in your own words
List the record-keeping duties a licence holder must satisfy and note where each record is kept

Explain how equipment and cylinder traceability is documented end to end
Identify the penalties and risks attached to unauthorised trading
Your checkpoint
A flowchart of the trading record chain from purchase to disposal, annotated with the record required at each step

Explain how refresher and ongoing training obligations are met
Your checkpoint
A two-page training pathway summary mapping entry requirements to ongoing competency evidence
Refrigerant Handling Licence (RHL) & Information
Consolidate handling-licence knowledge into a set of practice questions you can answer without notes
Locate and interpret the information sources that govern refrigerant compliance
Explain how to verify that a source of compliance information is current and authoritative
Your checkpoint
A 30-question self-test on RHL content, scored, with every wrong answer corrected and explained in writing
Information & Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (RTA)
Describe how to respond to an information request or audit from a regulator
Explain the process for reporting incidents, breaches, or changes in circumstances
Apply information-handling principles to a trading-authorisation scenario
Your checkpoint
A written incident-report and audit-response pack covering three realistic scenarios
Refrigerant Handling Licence (RHL) & Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (RTA) & Refrigerant Industry Training & Information
Complete a full timed mock exam across all four domains and record the score per domain
Re-study only the two weakest areas identified by the mock exam
Recite the core obligations of each domain from memory without prompts
Your checkpoint
A scored mock exam with a one-page remediation plan targeting the two weakest domains
Milestones
Week 2: You can explain safe handling and recovery procedures without referring to notes, and your non-compliance scenarios each name a corrective action
Week 4: Your RHL-versus-RTA comparison table and trading record flowchart are complete and you can walk through both from memory
Week 6: You score at least 80 percent on the 30-question RHL self-test and every incorrect answer has a written correction
Week 8: Your timed mock exam shows no domain below 70 percent and the remediation plan names concrete actions for the two weakest domains
