About G.1 Gap 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.
