i have had my g2 licence for 4 years now and i mainly work on residential equipment with the odd rooftop. how do i go about getting my g1 licence? would i have to sign up for an apprenticeship as the gas licencces are now an apprenticehsip?
You have to have a head letter from your employer stating that you worked 4000 hours with G2 and 500 on equipment 400000 and up. Also this letter has to be signed up by a G1 fitter who you worked your 500 hours with. If you are in Toronto, I suggest you take G1 course. George Brown college offers this course. Good luck!
I believe the MTCU apprenticeship program only applies to the G2-T.

Quote4. A person may attempt to challenge the Gas Technician 1 or the Oil Burner Technician 1 examinations only if:
a) the individual holds a valid Gas Technician 2 or Oil Burner Technician 2 respectively.
b) the individual can provide documentation detailing 4000 hours of accumulated experience as a Gas Technician 2 or an Oil Burner Technician 2, of which a minimum of 500 hours are on systems larger than 400,000 Btuh or 7 U.S. gallons per hour respectively under direct supervision. The name, certificate number and signature of the supervising certificate holder must be provided.
If you lack the 500 commerical hours this course might help http://www.tstraining.com/courses.php?id=68 (http://www.tstraining.com/courses.php?id=68)
I took this pre- gas technician 1 course almost two years and get my 500hr commerical equivalency.Then I took the regular gas technician 1 course shortly afterwards.
