Kansas matches propane training to the license class. Initial course proof and the refresher schedule both belong in your renewal file.
What the rule says
- K.A.R. 22-8-11 lists CETP, PERC or state-fire-marshal-approved equivalent courses by license class. Instructors and classes require advance approval.
- For example, a class four cylinder-filling license calls for Dispensing Propane Safely. Other classes have different course requirements.
- Under 22-8-12, at least every three years the initially trained person completes the corresponding refresher, or another agent or employee completes the required initial training. Renewal requires proof.
- Under 22-8-10, licenses expire September 30 each year. Renewal materials are due on or before July 15.

What this means for you
Write down the license class before choosing a course. Check the state’s current approval and save the completion evidence. Give the office both the annual renewal date and the three-year training deadline so one does not get mistaken for the other.
Need training for your crew?
We don't run classes. Use the trainers on our Recommended Propane Safety Experts page and contact them directly.
Keep the paper trail
Use our Policies & Procedures manual to put your written procedures in one place. Keep course records, skills checks and any required licenses alongside the procedures your crew uses. A manual does not replace training or an agency approval.

Quick questions
Does one named course fit every Kansas propane license class? No. K.A.R. 22-8-11 sets different courses by class, with approved-equivalent options.
Does annual renewal replace the three-year training requirement? No. K.A.R. 22-8-10 covers annual renewal; 22-8-12 sets the training options at least every three years.
Does buying a manual replace training or a required license? No. A manual supports your written procedures. You still need the training, skills and approvals required for the work.
