Virginia Clean Cities Offering Hands-On CNG Training

The Virginia Clean Cities has opened registration for an introductory course to operating vehicles using CNG to be held in Chesapeake, Virginia, August 22, 2016. Students are required to gain an understanding of CNG, regulations, component and line fabrications, driver education requirements, and diagnostic testing com­ponents. Students will apply basic competencies to grasp in-depth workings of CNG vehicles.

The course also combines classroom instruction and theory with the opportunity to apply concepts through hands-on activities with the TFC Recycling’s active CNG service station. Students will be given the opportunity to learn and apply best-practices on a state-of-the art fleet. This course will emphasize testing at the end of each module prior to actively participating in active lab work. At the conclusion of the training participants will have satisfactorily completed 40 hours of training for the NFPA 52, CNG Theory, Safety, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics for Compressed Natural Gas vehicles for the 2013 NFPA standards.
