Remote graded diagnostics for Kenyan RAC technicians — not a replacement for polytechnic workshop weeks, but a structured way to build isolation, recovery and fault-order discipline before NITA or CDACC assessment. Work cold chain, retail refrigeration and commercial air conditioning from anywhere in East Africa, on your own hours.

Exam preparation
Preparing for the East Africa (Kenya track) exams?
Prepares diagnostic judgment and refrigerant-handling decisions that sit beside EPRA-aligned technician grades and Kenya RAC / environmental handling requirements as described on the Kenya regional page. We do not issue EPRA licences or Kenyan trade certificates.
Same labs, tighter time, fewer hints — score against this region. Supervisors, plant engineers, and energy professionals working 240/415 V 50 Hz commercial RAC, solar+HVAC sites, and generator-backed plant common in the region.
After the labs, you know which exam to book. You sit Core / Type / T2 / PV Associate and the equivalents with the examining body, and that body issues the credential. Prepare for CDACC L4/L6 and NITA on 240/415 V.
Academy scores are training only. We do not issue the credential — EPRA / Kenyan credentials are issued by the authority. Academy completion is not authorisation to work.
Supply, frequency, and conversions
Single-phase
240 V a.c. nominal (Kenya and Uganda public supply is 240 V — not 230 V and not 120 V)
Three-phase
415 V (240 V L-N). Some neighbouring grids are 230/400 V — this track teaches Kenya/Uganda 240/415 as the East Africa default; Tanzania and others may be 230/400. Never collapsed to South African 230/400.
Frequency
50 Hz only
Code
EPRA framework + Kenya wiring regulations / IET-derived practice
Conductors
mm²
Units
°C, kPa/bar, kg. Type G plugs. 50 Hz only.
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. Gauges, ambients, and exam items on this track are °C, not Fahrenheit.

Working decision values stay in this region's units — the strip is for translating charts and kit from elsewhere.

Who the authority is here
NITA (Kenya)
Industrial training and trade testing for technical occupations.
Issues: Government trade test certificates.
TVET CDACC
RAC occupational standards and competence-based assessment in the TVET system.
Issues: Certificates via accredited providers — we do not.
National Ozone Unit / NEMA
Refrigerant import control and good-servicing practice under the Montreal Protocol.
Issues: Refrigerant handling authorisations and importer controls.
Good servicing practices (Kenya)
Kenya's National Ozone Unit promotes UNEP OzonAction good servicing practices across the RAC sector. These labs drill the same field habits, with safety-fail marking when method is unsafe.
•Isolate and prove dead before touching the refrigeration circuit.
•Recover refrigerant instead of venting, on every job.
•Find and fix leaks before topping up — never recharge a known leaker.
•Handle flammable and low-GWP refrigerants with the ventilation and ignition discipline they demand.
Good servicing practice is an optional international programme — completing these labs earns no UNEP or National Ozone Unit certificate.
Prepare for CDACC RAC Level 4 and Level 6
TVET CDACC occupational standards for RAC at Level 4 and Level 6 expect fault-finding and safe servicing under assessment conditions. The graded labs build that standard of judgment before you book an external assessment.
Assessment and certificates are issued by TVET CDACC with an accredited provider, not EcoPowerHub Academy.
Prepare for the NITA trade test
NITA trade tests are practical: find the fault, fix it safely, explain what you did. The same drills — isolate, confirm, verify — are what these labs grade you on.
We do not administer NITA tests; booking and assessment happen through NITA.
Commercial RAC fault order
Commercial refrigeration faults cost product, not just comfort. Every lab grades a repeatable order: electrical isolation first, then airflow, then charge, then component condemnation — with unsafe method failing outright.
•Isolate electrically and prove dead before touching the refrigeration circuit.
•Confirm airflow and charge before condemning a compressor.
•Recover refrigerant only when the repair actually requires it.
•Document supply conditions, pressures and temperatures so the next technician can act on your record.
This is skills preparation, not a credential — the certificate comes from NITA or TVET CDACC.
Preparation scope
What this training prepares you for
•Isolation and recovery discipline: prove dead, recover refrigerant, and document before opening a system.
•Commercial RAC fault order on walk-ins, reach-ins and cold-chain plant — product loss is the cost of being wrong.
•Graded labs with safety-fail: unsafe selection fails outright, so reliable method is what progresses you.
•Electrical diagnosis on unstable supply: voltage dips, phase loss and generator changeover damage.
•Service documentation that supports a warranty, insurance or assessor review.
What we do not issue
•We do not issue NITA trade test certificates.
•We do not issue TVET CDACC certificates or qualifications.
•We do not issue any refrigerant-handling authorisation recognised by the National Ozone Unit.
