The Northern Skills Academy app is your home base. Inside, choose the program that matches your goal — G3 gas licence, pool and spa service, and more being added every season.

1,330 practice questions across 8 modules — built directly from CSA B149.1 and TSSA exam requirements. Pass your written G3 exam, then take our in-person practical session to complete your licence.

"The pool chemistry lessons are better than anything I've seen at industry training days. The pH and SLAM animations actually make it click."
