Certificate Closure

Note that all gas certificates are closed three years after their expiry date. If you let your Gas certificate close, you will no longer be able to renew the certificate. 

If you want to use a closed gas certificate, you will need to get it reissued. This means you will have to re-apply for, and successfully complete, the relevant certification exam. 

Please Note: Gas Fitter Class A and B requirements for new applications are changing. If your certificate closes after January 1, 2025 you may be required to recertify with SkilledTradesBC before you apply. 

Information about application requirements can be found on the corresponding certification pages. See links in the cards above.
