CETP Training for Propane Technicians: What's Required

CETP / PEP training — what every propane employee needs

PERC is retiring CETP. The replacement is PEP, the PERC Education Program — no certification exam, module-by-module testing, completions on an online transcript instead of a paper certificate.

CETP is the Certified Employee Training Program. PERC built it; NPGA has run it since 2012.

Who needs it: anyone who delivers or transports LP-gas, moves propane in or out of tanks and cylinders, or installs and services tanks.

There is no single federal renewal clock. Many companies retrain every year or two — your company, your insurer, and your state set the real schedule.

We do the paperwork. Trainers do the training. Propane Safety Pro keeps the completions, the dates, and the renewal clock, so the file is ready when someone asks.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The CETP (Certified Employee Training Program) was developed by PERC (Propane Education and Research Council) and has been administered by NPGA (National Propane Gas Association) since 2012. It is an industry wide training system designed to ensure that propane employees have the knowledge to operate safely in the field thereby making the propane safe for all customers and employees of propane marketers. Designed around the requirements found in NFPA 58 and 54 thereby helping propane marketers meet these critical requirements.

We do the paperwork. Trainers do the training. Your instructor teaches to your company's policies — we hold what comes out of the room. Completions, skills sheets, who signed, what date. And the three-year clock: we start it the day of the class and tell you before it runs out, instead of the week after somebody asks.

CETP and PEP Records, Built Around Your Company

Your fuel portfolio, your policies, your crew's actual daily tasks — that is what decides which CETP modules apply to which employee. We map it with you and build the record around it, so what your trainer covers and what your file shows are the same thing. Written to NFPA 58 and 54, which is what an inspector will hold it against.

Your trainer runs the skills evaluation. We keep the record of it — and every other completion — so your recordkeeping has something underneath it besides a folder.
