MTEC's Propane Training Transitions to PEP Learning Paths
The new modular structure not only enhances comprehension but also gives students the flexibility to focus on the skills they need most. This ensures they're better prepared and more confident when they step into the field."
Big changes are coming to propane training! The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is transitioning all Certified Employee Training Program (CETP) courses to the PEP (Propane Education Program) Learning Paths. These updated training paths break down lessons into smaller, more focused modules, making it easier to tailor training to specific job functions.

The transition process began with the Delivery License Authority, which has already been approved by the Maine Fuel Board (MFB). Additionally, the Bobtail and Cylinder Delivery learning paths have also been merged into a single Maine Fuel Board Delivery Learning Path. As part of this update, the MFB, working alongside PGANE, has introduced six on-the-job (OTJ) learning sheets that now replace the Skills Assessment previously used in CETP.
At MTEC, we've been preparing for this shift and are ready to roll out our updated Fuel Board-Approved Delivery Authority Program. The new course will incorporate the latest PEP materials and offer expanded coverage of key topics, which is why our Delivery Course is now a four-day class rather than the previous three days.

"We're excited about these changes because they allow us to improve how we teach and how our students learn," says MTEC dean Roger Mitchell. "The new modular structure not only enhances comprehension but also gives students the flexibility to focus on the skills they need most. This ensures they're better prepared and more confident when they step into the field."
There are now two ways to complete the Delivery Course:
Instructor-Led Training – A four-day, in-person course at our Brunswick Campus, including the hands-on OJT session, code review, and State Test Prep
Hybrid Delivery Course – A combination of off campus, self-paced interactive learning modules followed by a two-day OJT session, code review class, and State Test Prep.
