Description:

This course delves deeper into what you need to know to market and sell energy to industrial and commercial end users. It covers social issues affecting modern gas marketing, including energy deregulation and deregulated energy contracting, current environmental issues, utility economic development programs, and industry ethics. The course can be taken on its own or as part of GTI&rsquo,s CIGC (Chartered Industrial Gas Consultant) or RCGC (Registered Commercial Gas Consultant) certification programs. The programs have been restructured, beginning with the 2009 courses, and now offer a modular approach and the opportunity to customize your training.

Find out more about CIGC or RCGC certification. Even if you're not seeking a certificate, you will benefit from this course.

The course begins in the afternoon on Monday and ends at noon on Wednesday (two training days). This allows those who want to continue their CIGC-RCGC training in the same week to take another of the CIGC-RCGC two-day courses. See the full CIGC-RCGC list of courses.
