Validering
The HVAC industry validation model is used to validate professional knowledge for people who have previous professional experience and/or education as an HVAC fitter or similar.
The work may have been carried out either in another country or in a Swedish company that is not affiliated with the Technical Installation Agreement for HVAC & Refrigeration.
The purpose of the validation is to assess whether the applicant meets the industry’s knowledge goals corresponding to an industry certificate. An application for validation can be made by an individual, company or organization, the application is made via our website. When there are grades and certificates of previous experience, these must be translated into Swedish and attached to the application by emailing them to kontakt@vvsyn.se .
The validation must be carried out by a professional assessor approved by the HVAC industry’s professional board.
The person being validated must intend to continue working in the HVAC industry in Sweden.
Validation within HVAC is currently being carried out in Katrineholm, Hässleholm and Stockholm.
The validation is divided into different steps, which step you start with depends on your previous experience.
An individual assessment is made as to which step the person who is going to validate should complete.
From January 1, 2023, validation applies to everyone who is not registered as an apprentice in KUB.
