Queensland Gas Work Licence Training Pathway through MPAQ Training Services

If you hold an interim gas work licence, now is the time to plan your next skills step and work towards your full QLD Gas Work Licence.

MPAQ delivers the four required Certificate IV units of competency for eligible students working towards a full Queensland Gas Work Licence. With the right planning, students may be able to complete the required training units and workplace experience in as little as six months.

Who is this pathway for?

This training pathway is designed for students who:

• have completed a Certificate III in Plumbing or Certificate III in Gas Fitting
• hold an Interim Gas Licence issued by Resources Safety and Health Queensland

If you do not currently hold an interim gas licence, you may need to apply for one through Resources Safety and Health Queensland before progressing through this pathway.
