Granite State Trade School –
The First New Hampshire Trade School of its Kind.

2002, we recognized a growing need for training in natural gas, propane gas, and appliance installation and service. At the time, New Hampshire offered no training programs of this kind. After planning and developing the curriculum, Granite State Trade School welcomed its first students in 2006 as the first trade school of its kind in New Hampshire.

Granite State Trade School originally focused on training contractors in the gas industry. As New Hampshire prepared to require gas licensing, we developed a comprehensive program to meet the state’s workforce needs. The Office of the State Fire Marshal approved Granite State Trade School as the first independent training provider and testing proctor for New Hampshire’s gas licensing program.

Since its inception, Granite State Trade School has grown and expanded its course offerings. Today the school provides expert training for gas licensing, continuing education courses in Gas and Plumbing, HVAC Technician, Oil Burner Technician, and an a full four-year apprentice program in plumbing. The school continues to be recognized as a provider of quality trade education thanks to our expert instructors and state-of-the-art facility.
