NEW – Online RMGA Certification Training
An RMGA certificate is required when you are installing, replacing, or repairing any natural gas or propane systems. This online program is self-paced and open enrollment.
The Utah State Legislature passed the Gas Technician Certification law in 2002, which requires that all technicians who get paid to work on gas appliances must prove competency by passing the RMGA certification exam. The law can be found in Utah Code.
The Certification exam is a multiple choice, 100 question, open book exam. Examinees will be provided with a highlighted Gas Technician Certification Study Guide containing all the information necessary to pass the exam. No outside materials are permitted to be used during testing. (i.e. No personal Study Guides, code books or notes)
The exam can be taken at most technical colleges in the State of Utah and in Evanston, Wyoming & Green River Wyoming. If English is not a person’s native language, they are allowed 50% more time (6 hours). If they have a documented learning disability or test anxiety, they are also allowed 50% more time (6 hours).
In order to achieve Certification, a score of 80% or higher is required. A test voucher is $100 and includes one free retake. Additional attempts require that a new test voucher be purchased.
