Three years ago, we partnered with American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) to offer continuing education courses at no cost, to both ASPE members and non-members, in the natural gas industry. The response has been tremendous, and to date, we have issued hundreds of certificates and credit hours.
We currently offer six courses and participants have the opportunity to learn about a variety of topics centered around natural gas regulators and meters. We are continuously developing and expanding our course offerings.
Our courses offer valuable information for mechanical and plumbing engineers, as well as other industry professionals who are seeking CEU credits.
