Medical Gas Training

What Medical Gas Training does

Medical Gas Training, Inc. (MGTI) is a private professional services company founded in 2008 by Richard L. Miller and headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia. The company delivers credentialed training and consulting for the medical gas healthcare industry, operating with a small team (1-10 employees) and serving clients primarily across the Southeast United States. Its core offering is a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the ASSE 6000 Professional Qualification Standard for Medical Gas Systems Personnel, comprising seven certification courses spanning the Generalist (6005), Installer (6010), Inspector (6020), Verifier (6030), Maintenance Personnel (6040), Instructor (6050), and Design (6060) credentials. Course lengths range from 24 to 40 hours, with prerequisite field experience ranging from one to ten years depending on credential.

MGTI distributes training through two primary channels: public classes held at hotel venues across the Southeast and customized on-site training engagements at healthcare facilities, complemented by consulting services covering ASSE standards, brazing qualification, NFPA regulations, and industry referrals. The company certifies through a core strategic partnership with Medical Gas Testing & Certification, LLC (MGTC), a third-party credentialing agency that manages documentation, brazing qualification records, and certification renewals. Its instructor bench averages 25 years of medical gas industry experience, with the founder bringing 40+ years. Customer segments span individual professionals, healthcare facilities, employer representatives, industry associations, and government inspectors/construction managers.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services revenue from course enrollment and private on-site contracts, with opaque per-class pricing and multi-year private engagements. Go-to-market relies on the company website, direct email outreach, Constant Contact registration, and an ecosystem of training partner referrals (Noland/Winsupply, Keen Plumbing, CMGT, Pipeline/PSI Insulation, Cutting Edge Piping Services). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers must contact MGTI directly for class fees and minimums.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• HealthStream: HealthStream is a large healthcare workforce education and training platform used by hospitals for compliance, clinical, and continuing education. While HealthStream does not run ASSE 6000 certification courses, it competes for the same healthcare-facility training budget and could partner with or substitute for specialty training providers like MGTI in larger enterprise contracts.
• ASSE International: ASSE International is the standards body that writes and maintains the ASSE 6000 Professional Qualification Standards governing MGTI's curriculum. It also runs an approved training provider program, making it both the governing authority and a potential source of approved competing training programs and instructors.
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): NFPA owns and publishes NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code, the medical gas code that drives MGTI's training demand. While NFPA itself delivers standards and some code training rather than ASSE credentialing, its code revisions and education programs shape the overall medical gas training market in which MGTI operates.

Direct peers

• Amico Corporation: Amico Corporation designs, manufactures, and supplies medical gas outlets, pipeline equipment, and headwalls used in hospitals. Amico offers training and certification resources aligned with NFPA 99 and ASSE standards, competing with MGTI for hospital facility training budgets where Amico's equipment is specified.
• Tri-Tech Medical: Tri-Tech Medical is a major US manufacturer and distributor of medical gas pipeline equipment and also offers ASSE 6000-aligned installation and maintenance training to healthcare facility personnel. Overlap with MGTI is direct on the Installer (6010) and Maintenance Personnel (6040) certification courses, with Tri-Tech competing via bundled equipment-plus-training value propositions.
• BeaconMedaes: BeaconMedaes (part of Atlas Copco) supplies medical gas pipeline systems and vacuum equipment to hospitals and runs certified training programs for installers and maintenance staff. It is a direct competitor for facility-based medical gas certification training, particularly for healthcare systems that already purchase its equipment.

Emerging players

• American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE): ASPE is a professional association for plumbing engineers and designers that MGTI already cross-links from its resources page. ASPE provides continuing education and credentialing programs that overlap with medical gas design training (ASSE 6060) and serves as a complementary channel for reaching plumbing professionals who need medical gas credentials.
• Medical Gas Testing & Certification (MGTC): MGTC is MGTI's third-party credentialing partner that handles the actual certification and brazing qualification records. While not a direct training competitor today, MGTC is positioned to expand into approved training delivery and could become both a deeper partner and a more direct competitor over time.
• MedBridge: MedBridge provides online continuing education and certification prep for healthcare professionals. While its current catalog focuses on clinical rehabilitation and therapy disciplines, its platform model could expand into facilities-and-safety certifications like medical gas and become a digital alternative to MGTI's in-person credentialed courses.

Regional players

• American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE): ASHE is a professional association for healthcare facility engineers, operators, and maintenance professionals that MGTI references as a partner resource. ASHE runs continuing education programs for healthcare facility personnel and is a related go-to-market channel for ASSE 6040 maintenance personnel training, with potential overlap in hospital engineer certification.
