Who Should Attend?

ASPE’s MedGas Workshop is perfect for anyone seeking to sit for the ASSE 6060 personal certification exam. The ASSE 6060 certification will potentially be a requirement for medical gas system designers in future editions of NFPA 99, so it is beneficial to you and your employer to get ahead of the curve now.

The workshop also provides the skills and knowledge needed for engineers who want to branch into medical gas system design.

Cost

The cost to take the workshop is $2,000 for ASPE members and $2,350 for nonmembers. Not an ASPE member?  to get the member price and save $150, and you’ll also be able to take advantage of all of ASPE’s other member benefits.

To help convince your employer that you should attend the Irvine workshop, ASPE has developed a justification letter that explains the benefits of our medical gas training.
