About G.1 Gap Course

If you cannot meet the TSSA requirement for 500-hour hours of work experience on appliances with an input exceeding 400,000 Btuh under the supervision of a G.1, this course is an alternate method of meeting that prerequisite, so you can attend a G.1 Course.

TSSA has authorized NRG Resources to offer a G.1-GAP course recognized as the equivalent to the 500-hour prerequisite under the direct supervision of a Gas Technician 1 certificate holder required for enrollment into a G.1 training course.

Upon completion of this course you are required to enroll in a full G.1 course within 18 months. Failure to do so voids the approval to use the G.1 Gap course as the equivalent to the 500-hour prerequisite. The G.1 Gap course cannot be used to challenge the G.1 training requirements.

Our G.1 GAP course does not require approval under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005. Contracts under this arrangement are signed by third party payers/employers and not with the general public.

Prerequisites

You must hold a valid Gas Technician 2 certificate and be actively working in the industry. Be able to provide proof of 3,500 hours of work experience as a Gas Technician 2 by the completion of the full G.1 training course.
