The program prepares students to sit the TSSA Gas Technician 3 exam and the Gas Technician 2 exam by its end, a step toward becoming a fully qualified, licensed technician. Most graduates go on to work as gas technicians, though some enter technical support or sales roles in the industry, and others use the credential as a route into apprenticeships covering sheet metal, refrigeration, plumbing or pipe fitting trades, each requiring further apprenticeship training.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time Gas Technician certificate defers to Georgian's full-time Gas Technician admission requirements page. Entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature student status, plus Grade 12 English at the C or U level; mature applicants aged 19 or older without an OSSD may qualify through completed upgrading, GED equivalency, or equivalency testing. Neither page publishes a programme-specific language-test table, so applicants whose first language is not English fall under Georgian's general certificate-level requirement: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall or TOEFL iBT 79 overall, or completion of Georgian's own GAAS English for Academic Purposes pathway. No portfolio, interview or other special admission condition is stated. The programme separately requires the TSSA Gas Technician 3 exam be passed before the co-op work term begins, which is a progression rather than an admission requirement.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: 1 February 2027 is the equal-consideration date for Georgian's highly competitive programs, which now covers Fall 2027, Winter 2028 and Summer 2028 entry, and later applications are assessed first-come, first-served while seats last; offers of admission for this 2026-2027 cycle must be accepted by 1 May 2027. Programs outside the highly competitive list carry no equal-consideration date and are assessed on a rolling basis year-round. International applicants apply directly through Georgian's own portal with no published closing date and are assessed on a rolling basis while seats remain, though Georgian warns a program open when applied to may close before assessment. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
