hi guys, can you recommend me a good school for gas technician in Ontario, preferably GTA region ?
I'm leaning btw Stanford College of Technology and Humber College,
when i asked about why the price was so high , it was so to cover for the TSSA exam ? not sure about this. ???
Stanford College has small class sizes , but the tution is 10k
Humber College has only 3 courses , each one around 500$ , not sure if it covers TSSA the exam fee. ???
Exam fee is something like $175, and sometimes an extra $60 or so for the school to book it in their test rooms... Have you looked into the costs of the all the books required? What is the length of time it takes to complete these courses? Your best bet is usually take the fastest method possible since nobody cares about what school you went to, but how much experience you have in the real world.
The humbler one sounds like the G3 only? Because the G3 I took up here was part-time and divided into 3 levels of a little under $500 per level. It didn't cover the extra $800+ for books, nor the $230 TSSA exam fee... With it all done, you're only an entry level gas technician, and not a fully licensed gas technician like a G2... You're basically a G2's bitch until you continue with the longer G2 course and get that license. The g2 course is about 480 hours, where the G3 is 180 hours, or 60 hours per course.
Just go to high mark.its the fast track course.it cost me 4300 $ About 9 yrs ago.but you can get on field experience as well as G 2 ticket.not bed I guess.
Hi-Mark is probably the way to go if you know you want to be a Gas Technician and you're fairly a hands on person with some common sense. There's also the constant talk about how they keep wanting to make this license a trade by being an apprenticeship, so you'll want to move before that happens. There's a big difference between a obtaining a license in 6 months versus 5 or 6 years.
Remember that no matter where you go, you're still not allowed touching air conditioning without the minimum 313d license, which is an apprenticeship of a little over 2 years, and 2 x 8 week classes. But if you obtain the 4500 hours under a 313d refrigeration apprenticeship, you can challenge the exam, if you feel you know you can pass without doing any class time. Don't be fooled when you hear all these courses with their "HVAC" title.
