Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Gas Technician 3 (G3) license?

A G3 gas license is the entry-level certification for working with natural gas and propane appliances in Ontario. You earn it after completing approved TSSA training and passing the required provincial qualification exam.

With a G3 license, you can work under the direct supervision of a G2 or G1 licensed technician on gas-fired equipment like furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, stoves, pool heaters, dryers, and more.

Think of it as your license to start. Your gas 3 license opens the door, and each level after it raises what you can do and what you can earn.

What’s the difference between G3, G2, and G1?

They’re the three levels of gas licensing. G3 is entry-level (work under supervision). G2 lets you work independently on appliances up to 400,000 BTUh. G1 removes the size limit. You start at G3 and upgrade with training and experience.

Can a G3 license help if I’m interested in other skilled trades?

Yes. A G3 license can be a valuable asset for students interested in other trades, especially HVAC, plumbing, appliance service, and mechanical work. Because gas systems often connect to heating equipment, appliances, piping, and building systems, Gas Technician 3 training can help students build a stronger technical foundation and open the door to additional training pathways at Skilled Trades College.

Do I need a high school diploma to take the G3 course in Ontario?

While an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent is standard, mature students (ages 18+) who do not have a diploma can often take a qualifying entrance assessment. Contact our admissions team to discuss pathways for mature students.

How much does the Gas Technician 3 course cost at Skilled Trades College?

Tuition is $3,900, making it one of the most affordable G3 courses in Ontario. This includes course modules, tuition, on-site tool use, codebooks, and exam fees. For alumni or current students, tuition is discounted to $2,995.

Is financial aid or funding available for gas technician training courses?

Absolutely. There are still plenty of great provincial grants, private funding options, and bursaries available that can help cover tuition. However, because our 12-week program is designed to get you job-ready fast, it’s too short to qualify for OSAP. For those seeking funding support, please schedule an appointment with your local program advisor.

How long does it take to get your G3 license at STC?

Complete your classroom and practical training in just 12 weeks at Skilled Trades College. Because our program is streamlined and career-focused, it’s specifically designed to set you up for success so you can challenge the TSSA certification exam and enter the workforce fast.

What is the passing grade for the TSSA G3 exam?

To earn your G3 gas license, you must achieve a minimum score of 75% on both the theoretical and practical components of the TSSA-administered examination. Our curriculum is specifically engineered to prepare you to meet and exceed this standard.

Can I work while taking this course?

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling options, specifically evening and weekend classes, to accommodate busy schedules, allowing you to maintain employment while training for the trade.
