Hands-on training in plumbing installation and repair, plus preparation to become a certified gas technician. Unique combined program that doubles your job options. Get help to secure a paid apprenticeship after graduation.
Benefits of Combined Plumbing & Gas Technician 3 Training
Plumbing and gas technician training go hand in hand. Plumbers often work on gas-fired appliances, such as water heating devices or medical gas lines at hospitals and clinics.
But if you aren’t a certified gas technician, you are limited to servicing electric devices. If you want to work with gas-fired plumbing equipment, you need to get your gas technician license.
This is why we offer combined Plumbing Pre-apprenticeship and Gas Technician 3 training.
- Plumbers with G3 certification can work under supervision on gas equipment like hot water systems, gas water heaters and pumps, gas meters, and regulators
- Once you’ve earned your G3, you can proceed to level 2
- G2 holders can work without supervision on gas-fired units with an input up to 400,000 BTUH
- Gas technician certification opens up more job options for plumber apprentices
- Successful graduates leave our program with a Gas Technician 3 licence and are eligible to continue with G2 certification
