Course Overview

The LPG Changeover (CONGLP1 PD) course at Vulcana Training is designed for qualified natural gas engineers who want to extend their scope of work to include Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in permanent dwellings. This is the core LPG changeover module, allowing safe and legal work with LPG installations typically found in rural or off-grid homes.
