NATURAL GAS TECHNICIAN TRAINING
Welcome to the Natural Gas Technician Program Page
What do you do with a degree in Natural Gas Transmission & Distribution?

A degree from Barton Community College gives the individual the skills necessary for employment with minimal "on the job training” by the company. Technicians are needed for corrosion control, gas measurement, instrumentation and electrical controls, pipeline construction, and programmable logic controller (PLC) programming.
What makes Barton’s program unique?
- Only college in Kansas that offers an AAS degree in this field.
- Fast track industrial training format.
- State of the art classroom and equipment.
- 6000 square foot indoor pipe field.
- Instructors from industry.
Barton is on track to begin a Gas Measurement Technician program on May 14, 2012. Curriculum is provided by the Gas Measurement Training Council of the Southern Gas Association. This program will utilize the same industrial "fast track" format as the original program and will focus solely on gas measurement. A mobile training unit will also be available for onsite classes.
