Register for a Propane Education class today

The New York Propane Gas Association is committed to ensuring the safety of the state’s propane providers and the many customers they serve.

That’s why we offer nationally certified training programs such as the Certified Employee Training Program (CETP), and the Propane Education Program (PEP) with classes scheduled throughout the year at different venues across the state. Instruction ranges from basic principles and practices of propane to advanced certifications in delivery, plant operations, distribution systems and more.

PEP is a new program, beginning in 2024. CETP will be phased out over the next few years in favor of this new modularized training. NYPGA has chosen to teach primarily traditional CETP classes in 2024, but we will hold one PEP Learning Path Class as a trial run in Albany in September. In 2025, we will stop teaching CETP 1.0 and CETP 2.2/2.4 in favor of the new learning path classes.

Also for 2024, we are building on our success with hybridized training which we began in 2023. Our instructors will provide laptops or tablets for the students. Course materials and exams will be loaded onto those devices. This does a few things: 1) it gets the student into the Learning Center, where that student can take as many classes as they like as they build their career 2) it will provide the student with instant results on their exam rather than having to wait several weeks as was done in the past. All of our courses will still be taught with a live, experienced instructor, in a classroom setting.

CETP and PEP CLASSES

Our CETP Classes have ended for 2024. We should have a schedule in place by April of next year.
