Certification

The Utah State Legislature passed the Gas Technician Certification law in 2002, which requires that all technicians who get paid to work on gas appliances must prove competency by passing the RMGA certification exam. The law can be found in Utah Code here.

The certification exam is a 4 hour and 10 minutes, 100 question, open book exam that can be taken at most technical colleges in the state for $100-125 ($100 for the exam and $15-25 for the testing center). When you’re ready to take the exam, contact any one of the following and register to take the exam. You need a Pre-Paid Test Voucher from RMGA and you must make an appointment at a testing center. The passing score is 80%, there is a free retake available if needed.
