Welcome to Cambridge Refrigeration Technology


Custom Courses


Our courses are made up from the modules below. To design your own custom course use approximately 6 modules to form a one-day course. 

Following considerable interest in ATP matters, CRT (operators of the Refrigerated Vehicle Test Centre at Cambridge, and ATP certification agents of the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions) are holding a meeting to investigate the training needs of the refrigerated road transport industry.

We offer courses about three times each year, to express interest in our courses and be informed of the next, please complete this form.
