I do not believe there are any standards, anywhere, when it comes to training. Anybody does what they want, and should something happen, then the powers to be get involved. Kind of being reactive, instead of proactive. Makes no sense to me, especially when there are laws governing this industry, but nothing is being done or should I say, enforced.

And to beat the band, I visited a company for the first time, knocking on doors, and the supervisor says to me 'meet or in-house trainer'. Seemed like a fine chap and I questioned his course. It was held at a local motel/hotel, and lasted from 8AM-3PM. Driving was not part of it, and he learned about propane as well. They did a bit of role playing, here is your book, give me your cheque, and you are now certified to be a trainer. Need I say more?
