PERC ACCOUNT - If the student does not already have an account with PERC he or she should sign up before class to review what they have. It is easy and free. Go to https://propane.com/ go to My Account and sign up.
SKILL ASSESSMENT NOT INCLUDED - Time constraint means THIS CLASS DOES NOT INCLUDE the option to complete the skill evaluation on the day of either the accelerated class or last day orf the non-accelerated class. Skill Assessment completion is required to be completed within one year of the class by you or your company or a third party. Historically, Skill Assessments have been sent directly to the company with paper exams. The company has then made arrangements to complete the skill assessments. When you complete online exams through PERC, the company must download the skill evaluation form and use a Skill Evaluator (NOT the same as a Proctor) to process the assessments. Either way, Skills Evaluations no longer go to ITS rather they get sent to PERC and must be signed by a PERC approved Skill Evaluator (again, not the same as a Proctor). A Skill Evaluator must do the evaluation. Reach out to us about a Skill Assessment session for ANY CETP BOOK: info@propaneandoiltraining.com. We offer stand-alone Skill Assessment sessions for this and other CETP Books, Ask us.
TESTING - at the end of the class will be overseen by Mike and all “paperwork” will be submitted to PERC directly by Mike. The Book 1.0 Basic Principle & Practices exam MUST be completed to receive certification (to actually get a certificate from PERC) in any of the other CETP books. For example, 2.2 Bobtail, 2.4 Cylinder Delivery, etc., require Book One Basic Principles be completed to receive certificates for all books beyond the 1.0 Basics Principles & Practices class. We describe the completion of the Skill Assessment the “3rd step” of the CETP Book certification process.
NO MINIMUM - There is no minimum student registration: the class will run regardless of how many students sign up.
SEQUENCE - The CETP curriculum is intended to be taken in sequence, meaning you take Book One, followed by the subsequent “books”. We have had students take CETP “out of order”, meaning, for example, a student took 2.2 Bobtail BEFORE he or she had completed Book One Basic Principles. Our experience has been a mixed bag: some ace the exam and class in this example; others struggle keeping up and have failed the 2.2 exam, as an example, as a result.
We do not encourage taking CETP out of order. The knowledge from Book One is essential to the Books that come after Book One and taking CETP “out of order” has created issues, including but not limited to slowing down the entire class at the expense of others, insufficient absorption of the
