FOREWORD
The Department of Occupational Standards of the Ministry of Labour and

Human Resources is pleased to present the National Competency Standards
(NCSs) for Refrigeration and air conditioning technician. The standards
represent the fruits of hard work and invaluable experiences gained by the
department since its establishment in the latter half of 2003. The main aim of
developing NCS is to set up a well-defined nationally recognized Vocational
Qualification System that will help set a benchmark for the Technical
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) System in our country aligned to
international best practices.
NCS is one of the base pillars in the Bhutan Vocational Qualification

Framework (BVQF) and is the first step in its implementation. The NCS are
developed and revised to ensure that employees or vocational graduates
possess and acquire the desired competencies required by industries and
employers. In order to ensure this close match in supply and demand of
competencies, NCS have been developed and revised in close consultation
and partnership with industry experts and validated by the Technical Advisory
Committees of the concerned economic sectors.
A vocational education and training system based on NCS shall ensure that
delivered training is of a high quality and relevant to the needs of the labour
market. As a result, future TVET graduates will be better equipped to meet the
need and expectations of industries and employers. This positive impact on
the employability of TVET graduates will enhance the reputation of vocational
education and training and make it attractive to school leavers.
I gratefully acknowledge collaboration and the valuable contributions made by

experts from industries during the consultation and validation processes of the
standards. I look forward for continued engagement and participation of the
industry and employers in the development of a quality assured demand
driven TVET system and to build competent and productive national workforce
that will contribute to the continued socio-economic progress of our country.

INTRODUCTION
A. National Competency Standards (NCS)
The National Competency Standards specify the skill, knowledge and attitudes
applied to a particular occupation. Standards also specify the standards or
criteria of performance of a competent worker and the various contexts in
which work may take place. Standards provide explicit advice to assessors
regarding the skill and knowledge to be demonstrated by candidates seeking
formal recognition either following training or through work experience.
Purpose of National Competency Standards
National Competency Standards serve a number of purposes including:

 Providing advice to curriculum developers about the competencies to be
included in curriculum.
 Providing specifications to assessment resource developers about the
competencies within an occupation to be demonstrated by candidates.
 Providing advice to industry/employers about job functions, which in turn
can be used for the development of job descriptions, performance
appraisal systems and work flow analysis.
ii
B. Bhutan Vocational Qualifications Framework (BVQF)
Bhutan Vocational Qualifications Framework is an agreed system of

Assessing, Certifying and Monitoring nationally recognized qualifications for all
learning in the TVET sector against national competency standards, in training
institutions, in the workplace, in schools or anywhere where learning takes
place.

BVQF Levels
The Bhutan Vocational Qualifications Framework has three levels classified

based on the competency of the skilled workers. The three levels are:
 National Certificate Level 3 (NC III)

 National Certificate Level 2 (NC II)
 National Certificate Level 1 (NC I)
BVQF Level Descriptors
The qualification levels are decided based on level descriptors. The detail of
the qualification level descriptor is as follows:

PURPOSE
This suite of two qualifications is designed for people interested in a career as

a refrigeration and air conditioning technician.
The first of the two qualifications is the National Certificate Level 2 in

refrigeration and air conditioning. The Level 2 qualification recognizes the
skills and knowledge required for people working as a skilled refrigeration and
air conditioning technician at the workplace.
The qualification comprises of three units of Competency Standards that cover

the essential knowledge and skills required in performing servicing of domestic
refrigerator, installation and servicing of split type air conditioner.
The National Certificate Level 2 in refrigeration and air conditioning prepares

technicians for entry into further qualifications and is a prerequisite for entry
into the National Certificate Level 3.
The National Certificate Level 3 in refrigeration and air conditioning is currently

the final achievement in this qualification pathway. Candidates wishing to be
admitted into training should hold the National Certificate Level 2 in
refrigeration and air conditioning.
The Level 3 qualification recognizes the competencies required to work as

highly skilled refrigeration and air conditioning technicians. This qualification
includes three units of Competency that covers the skills and knowledge
required in performing servicing of commercial refrigeration plant, servicing of
central air condition plant and servicing of package type air conditioning units.
A diagram of the qualification pathway provided by these two National

Certificates is as follows.
vi
PACKAGING OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR REFRIGERATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING TECHNICIAN
The National competency standard for the refrigeration and air conditioning
comprises of six units of competencies, which are clustered into two
qualification levels as shown below:
Perform servicing of package type air condition units (7127-U6-L3)
Perform servicing of central air condition plant (7127-U5-L3)
Perform servicing of commercial refrigeration plant (7127-U4-L3)
Perform servicing of split type air conditioner (7127-U3-L2)
Perform installation of split type air conditioner (7127-U2-L2)
Perform servicing of domestic refrigerator (7127-U1-L2)
ENTRY

CODING USED FOR NATIONAL COMPETENCY STANDARDS
The coding and classification system developed in Bhutan is logical, easy to

use, and also aligned with international best practises. The Bhutanese coding
and classification system is based on the International Standard Classification
of Occupations, 2008 (ISCO-08) developed by the International Labour
Organisation (ILO).
The coding of the national competency standards forms the basis of the
identification code for the Vocational Education and Training Management
Information System (VET – MIS) both in terms of economic sector
identification and that of the individual standard.
Coding the individual units of competency standard is to identify the level in
qualification packages to which it belongs.
While packaging, in order to follow a logical order, only competency standards

related to each other and following a logical sequence in terms of training
delivery, from the simple to the complex, are clustered into a qualification
packages.
The ILO assigns the code 7127 to the occupation of Air conditioning and
refrigeration mechanics. Therefore, in the Bhutan context, the occupation Air
conditioning and refrigeration technician has been assigned the code 7127 in
the National Coding System. The first unit is assigned the code U1, the first
Unit of Competency Standard clustered into the first qualification is designated
the code 7127-U1. Levels are assigned the code L and follow a logical
progression from the National Certificate Level 1 (NC I) to the National
Certificate Level 3 (NC 3). Therefore the National Certificate Level 2 is
assigned the code L2. The complete unit code will be 7127-U1-L2.
