LFG University is a professional organization dedicated to training landfill gas technicians and other professionals on all aspects of landfill gas whether it be online, on-site or in our classroom. LFG University understands that consulting firms, private industry and regulators need to have an institution that they can rely upon to assist in training new staff as well as helping them continue the education of current staff


TRAINING, MADE EASY

We all know that staffing is tough and sometimes we have to train new staff at all different times of the year. We understand that most of the time it is hard to find time to educate new staff on the basics of landfill gas. LFG University was built so that managers of new staff could put the burden of training upon us.

With our online classes, new staff can learn about the basics and can be tested to make sure that they understand the material provided. On the other hand LFG University is more than happy to provide onsite training where the staff can learn and have hands on training right at the facility that they maintain. There are also training classes provided through the year at our facility in Medina, Ohio.

Continuing the education of staff is sometimes even more difficult and most of the time training senior staff falls to the wayside. LFG University has guest webinars and more advanced training classes assembled by industry professionals to keep those skilled in the art of landfill gas excited.
