Natural Gas Field Skills Training is a series of training modules for field workers involved in natural gas construction, operations and maintenance. The program, comprised of 77 modules in ten different topic areas, helps prepare field workers for safe, effective on-the-job performance and meet regulatory requirements for operator qualification (OQ) assessments.
This versatile program is offered as online, self-study modules or as training materials for your own instructor-led training.

This collaborative program with NGA, GTI and National Grid will level the training and qualification playing field across the region and encourage regional "portability" of the contractor workforce while ensuring a consistent approach to ensuring safety, quality and compliance."
