New Hampshire ties fuel-gas license renewal to continuing education. Plan the hours for each endorsement instead of waiting until the renewal form arrives.
What the rule says
- Mec 404.01 requires at least six hours of continuing education for each plumbing or fuel-gas fitting endorsement during each two-year licensing cycle.
- The education must come through a board-approved seminar provider or, for a licensee who is a board-approved provider, a board-sanctioned comprehensive training session.
- Mec 403.01–.02 address renewal applications and supporting education records. Fuel-gas trainees have separate proof-of-enrollment requirements.

What this means for you
List each worker’s endorsements and renewal date, then check course approval before booking. Store the completion evidence with the license record. A general propane class may help with job skills, but ask the board whether it counts toward that endorsement’s renewal hours.
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
How many continuing education hours does Mec 404.01 require? At least six hours for each plumbing or fuel-gas fitting endorsement in every two-year licensing cycle.
Can any propane class automatically count toward renewal? Do not assume that. Mec 404.01 sets approved-provider or sanctioned-session conditions. Check approval before booking.
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.
