Gas 1 GAAP Training

[janekyu]

Is there any school running GAP training in toronto area.

So far I only have 200 hours for G1 and Need total 500 before I can go for G1 License.

There are two schools that offer this program but they are far and full time. One is in Windsor (Great Lake Technical) and the other one in St. Clements (TS training).


I want to do my G1 as soon as possible.

That's the biggie in the prerequisite since they want you to have the experience on large equipment before handing you a license to work on something with a pilot light that can kill you. If not, there would be a lot of G2's going out and trying to get the G1 license.
