Training Providers 

Training Providers must be accredited by TSSA before they are eligible to provide or offer a training program to the public.

The application for accreditation has been outlined below:

Application for Training Provider Accreditation

Record of Training Accreditation

As a result of the recommendations put forward by the Propane Review Panel, the provincial government amended Ontario Regulation 215/01 effective December 31, 2008 with the following additions: 

Accreditation of certain training providers
4.1 (1) Training providers who are accredited by the director to provide training for a certificate or record of training required by Ontario Regulation 211/01 (Propane Storage and Handling), made under the Act, are deemed to have their accreditation expire on December 31, 2009. 

(2) The director shall not approve or renew the accreditation of a training provider to provide training for a certificate or record of training required by Ontario Regulation 211/01, made under the Act, unless the training provider provides evidence acceptable to the director that the persons who will provide the training have subject matter and practical experience in the matters on which they will be providing training. 

(3) The accreditation of a training provider to whom this section applies shall be valid for no more than three years. 


Due to these regulatory changes, TSSA has produced a policy and procedures document, entitled Policies and Procedures Accreditation and Program Approvals of Training Providers/Organizations for Record of Training (ROT) Programs (under the Technical Standards & Safety Act, 2000). Please review this document prior to your submission to become a training provider.
