Alternative Fuels Technician Certificates

The Department of Labor (DOL) will issue a certificate to any person who has successfully passed the appropriate alternative fuels equipment, alternative fuels compression, or electric vehicle technician examination as provided in the Alternative Fuels Technician Certification Act. A certification fee applies. For companies, partnerships, or corporations involved in the business of installing, servicing, repairing, modifying, or renovating equipment used in converting or modifying engines or fueling equipment to be used with alternative fuels, DOL will issue a separate certificate. Alternative fuels include propane, natural gas, methanol, ethanol, electricity, hydrogen, biodiesel, and more.

DOL can issue an alternative fuels trainee certificate to any person who submits a trainee application within 15 business days of being hired by a licensed alternative fuels conversion or fueling station installation company.
