The training happened. Proving it is where companies get hurt.
An inspector does not ask whether you trained the crew. He asks to see the record. Same with your insurer. Same with a plaintiff's attorney.
We do the paperwork. Trainers do the training. Your instructor runs the class. We build what sits underneath it — the roster, the dates, the sign-offs, the skills sheets, the refresher clock, and a file you can hand somebody without going through a drawer.
Not sure what your crew needs on paper? Call us and we will walk your roster with you. If you need a trainer too, we will point you at good ones.
What's changing with CETP and PEP
PERC is retiring CETP. The replacement is the PERC Education Program — PEP — rolling out since 2025.
Here is the part that matters: your existing CETP completions are still good. They stay on your PERC Learning Center transcript. Nothing expired the day PEP started.
The headache is downstream. Plenty of state LP-gas licensing rules still name CETP outright. Pennsylvania, for one, requires CETP training of LP-Gas Technician License applicants. Few states have said in writing yet that PEP satisfies the same rule. Your insurer and your inspector still have CETP in the file.
One real clock: if a man passed the CETP written exam but never finished the skills assessment, PAPGA's 2025 PEP FAQs give him 12 months from the exam date to finish it.
Rules move. Confirm anything state-specific with your state's regulator before you act on it.
That's why a field record on your own crew's work, captured at the tank, now carries more weight than a certificate.
We document the training. We do not deliver it and we do not issue CETP or PEP credentials — your trainer delivers, PERC credentials.

Training programs
CETP & PEP Records
Role-based, built around NFPA 58 and 54 — delivery, fuel transfer, container installs. Your trainer teaches to your policies. We hold the completions, the skills sheets and the transcript trail.
Learn More →DOT Hazmat Records
Propane is a hazardous material, so DOT hazmat training reaches further than the truck. Drivers, service techs, yard employees, the office staff who handle delivery paperwork, and the supervisors over them. That is a longer roster than most companies track. We track it, and we flag the three-year clock before it runs out.
Learn More →FMCSA Records
Entry-level driver training, controlled-substance and alcohol testing requirements, and reasonable-suspicion training for the managers who have to make that call. Every one of those is a document somebody will ask to see. We keep them where you can find them.
Learn More →OSHA Records
OSHA wants trained employees anywhere a worker faces a hazard. Initial and renewal — we track who is current, who is not, and what expires next quarter.
Learn More →Operator Qualification Records
Operator Qualification. We map which employees need it and which covered tasks apply to their day, so your trainer teaches to the right list and the record matches.
Learn More →Field Training Records
Hands-on work at your site is where the real learning happens — your trucks, your tanks, your equipment. It is also the hardest thing to prove afterward. Photos, locations, dates, sign-offs, captured at the truck.
Learn More →Find out what's missing before somebody else does
February is a bad month to find out a driver's file is one signature short.
Tell us what your crew does and where they sit. We will tell you which records you are supposed to have, which ones you are missing, and what it takes to close the gap. If part of that gap is classroom hours, we will name a trainer who can do it.
Your trainer teaches the class — and when something goes wrong two years later, he is the one sitting in the chair being asked what he covered and when. We keep the file that answers it.
