Why points instead of units?

The electrotechnology package weights units by size. A big unit is worth more points than a small one, so the total is a measure of volume rather than a count.

Does this cover refrigerant handling licensing?

The units are there, but the licence itself is issued by the Australian Refrigeration Council, separately from the qualification.

UEE42725 Certificate IV in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Servicing

About this qualification

UEE42725 covers high-level fault diagnosis and rectification, commissioning and maintenance on refrigeration and air conditioning systems — commercial food storage and preservation, air conditioning, air distribution.

This is one of the electrotechnology qualifications packaged by weighting points rather than a unit count. A total of 1350 points: 1170 from the core listed below, plus 180 from general electives.

It is a large qualification. Twenty-nine core units is not unusual for this part of the training system, and licensing for refrigerant handling sits outside it.
