CETP as we know it will be going away starting in 2025. It will be replaced with a new program called PEP, Propane Education Program. PEP breaks the different sections of CETP training into "modules," and provides dealers with the flexibility of selecting the modules that apply to their company. Those dealers can then create a custom "learning path" consisting of the modules specific to that employee or that job function. NYPGA will continue to teach in-person classes, with our experienced instructors, and will select a generic, PERC-recommended learning path for bobtail drivers, and in the future for other job functions as they become available.
Be among the first companies to train your employees under this new PEP Learning Path!
This series of courses provides the basic material employees need to be a bobtail delivery driver.
