Instant renewals save time for technicians

Recognising that time is money for refrigeration technicians, the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) has implemented a new automated licence renewal process which significantly reduces the amount of time required to complete the renewal application.
 
The process is designed to help ARCtick licensed technicians to minimise their admin time and maximise their time on the tools. For licensed technicians whose details have not changed since obtaining their current licence, this process saves them from having to check and confirm each detail separately. It also saves up to a couple of weeks for processing their application manually.
 
It’s not an automatic process where people will have to opt out if they don’t want or need to renew – it’s an automated process for the benefit of those who do want to renew. ARC is committed to excellence in customer service, and this new process reduces the time and effort required for the administrative side of licensing, so technicians can get on with the job of earning a living and helping to save the environment.

The Safety Issue We Don't Always See in the Workshop

For most of the motoring public, data collection begins and ends with speed cameras, toll roads and vehicle registration records. The reality, however, is far more complex. Modern vehicles have evolved into highly sophisticated computers on wheels, continuously generating information about their operation, location, condition and performance. As vehicle connectivity expands, so too does the volume of data being collected, transmitted and stored around the world.
