E-Learning for NGV Technicians

The Natural Gas Vehicle Institute (NGVi), ASE CASE-accredited and a leader in technical training for the CNG and LNG industry, now offers its NGV Technician and Fleet Operations Safety Training in an e-learning form.

NGVi has launched an e-learning courseThe course, designed for NGV technicians and other fleet or dealership operations personnel, is accessible through an interactive Learning Management System, providing students with a convenient way of learning independently and at their own pace.

NGVi says it’s the foundational course for every natural gas vehicle technician. Like its classroom equivalent, the e-learning course provides students with fundamental information they need to both understand and safely work on and around CNG and LNG vehicles.

Because of the unique properties of natural gas and the fuel-system components of vehicles fuelled by it, even seasoned vehicle technicians need this essential training before they begin maintaining NGVs, says NGVi.

CNG powered vehicles require high-pressure fuel systems with very different operating characteristics than gasoline or diesel vehicles, the organization says. It is essential that technicians understand the fuel-system components and basic safety procedures like depressurization and defueling.

The nature of the e-learning format — with its 24/7 availability — makes it more flexible for technicians to obtain and fit training into their demanding schedules, says NGVi.

The course is about two hours long and is organized into eight modules. It’s self-paced with a quick knowledge check following each module, and a final exam at the end. Individuals who complete the course and pass the exam receive an NGVi certificate of completion.
