Can You Read the Story in the Graph?

An alarm only tells you what happened—the 24-hour trend graph tells you why. Select any of the 5 real supermarket case scenarios below, scrub your mouse across the 24-hour trace to inspect probe values, and test your remote diagnosis.

    Founded by Jamie Davies-Evans

    The Refrigeration Diagnostics Academy (RDA) was founded by Jamie Davies-Evans (Senior Commercial Refrigeration Engineer, Gower Refrigeration, South & West Wales) to solve the biggest skills gap in the UK and global cooling industry: the chasm between textbook refrigeration theory and real-world supermarket telemetry diagnostics.

    Every graph, component walkthrough, and fault signature inside RDA is drawn from real multi-compressor packs, display multidecks, walk-in freezers, and electronic controller trends—so you learn how to find the right fault first time, protect food stock, and eliminate repeat call-outs.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need prior refrigeration experience for Course 1 (Refrigeration Basics)?
    No prior refrigeration, tools, or engineering maths experience is required for Course 1. It is built from the ground up for apprentices, FM helpdesk operators, store maintenance staff, and complete beginners. (Hands-on work on pressurised or live electrical equipment is strictly for qualified engineers.)
    How do the quizzes and 75% pass mark work?
    Each quiz draws 4 random multiple-choice questions from a 12-question bank (36 questions in Course 1; 60 questions across 5 quiz banks in Course 2). You need 3 out of 4 (75%) to pass, and you get unlimited retakes with fresh questions on every attempt.
    Is my pre-quiz form information shared with my employer?
    Never. Before each quiz, we ask for your Name, Company, Experience Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Senior), and Country. This information is strictly confidential and collected purely for internal RDA analytics so we can tailor our courses to our participants.
    Can our company pay via Purchase Order (PO) and BACS invoice?
    Yes. For B2B team cohorts (5, 10, 25, or 100+ seats), email corporate@rda-academy.co.uk or use the B2B quote button above to receive a formal VAT/PO invoice with instant seat provisioning.
