"The practical part of the training has been a very important contribution to my professional growth", said Elisabeth Correa Gonzáles from Chile (right side). Laura Casas Morán from México (left) adds: "And also the part about natural refrigerants, because in my country, we still need a change in the mindsets. I work as a teacher for refrigeration and air conditioning, and the aim is to make my students aware of the pollution they generate through bad practices."

All participants were already quite distinguished experts in the field of refrigeration, eager to learn even more about the safe handling of natural refrigerants. Their trainer Reiner Mayers enjoyed their active participation and awarded them with some extra modules.
