Equipment-specific NFPA 99 training built around the exact medical gas systems in your facility — not a generic code course.
Three days in a classroom reading the NFPA 99 codebook. Your technician passes a test — then goes back to the floor and still doesn't know how to service the equipment in front of them.
A Joint Commission or CMS survey finding on medical gas systems isn't just a paperwork problem. It can halt patient care, trigger corrective action plans, and put your facility's accreditation at risk.
Most certification programs are a single event. Two years later your tech can't remember how to pull the o-ring out of the back of a check valve without a shutdown, and there's no instructor around to help.
Lantern Academy isn't a generic NFPA 99 course with your logo on it. We build a curriculum specific to the makes and models your technicians service every day — backed by a persistent on-demand Workflow Library that stays useful long after certification day.
We scope your facility's equipment before we build the course. Your technicians train on the exact regulators, manifolds, alarm panels, and outlets they service — not hypothetical units from a textbook.
Wes has been working in medical gas since 2006. Real field experience, real answers to real problems — and yes, the occasional dad joke to keep things from feeling like a compliance exercise.
Every certified technician gets 3 years of access to Lantern's Workflow Library, including 60+ hands-on repair and maintenance videos. When something's acting up at 2 AM, or a tech can't remember where the o-ring goes during a repair, the answer is one search away — not buried in a binder from a class they took two years ago.
A structured pathway from foundational compliance knowledge to hands-on certification — built specifically for hospital biomedical and facilities teams.
Covers the regulatory landscape every medical gas technician needs to understand: NFPA 99 requirements, facility categories, system types, and what your obligations are as a service technician. Designed to be practical, not a code-reading exercise.
This is where Lantern is fundamentally different. Your curriculum is customized to include detailed instruction on the specific manufacturers and models in your facility. No filler content for equipment you'll never see.
Step-by-step video instruction on how to actually service the equipment — not just how to describe it. From outlet rebuilds to alarm panel troubleshooting, every lesson is a practical how-to, not a lecture.
Upon completing the coursework, technicians sit a competency exam. Pass, and they receive a digital and printed certificate — one copy for them, one copy automatically sent to their Facility Director for compliance records.
Certification is the beginning, not the end. Every certified technician gets 3 years of access to the full Lantern Workflow Library — 60+ searchable repair and maintenance videos covering the exact equipment in your facility, available on any device, any time. It is built for real technician moments, like checking where the o-ring goes, confirming a disassembly step, or refreshing a service sequence before equipment goes back into service.

Same-day or next-business-day responseOnce you're onboard, we scope your facility's equipment and configure a curriculum specific to the makes and models your technicians will be tested on. Setup typically takes 1–2 weeks. Your team doesn't start until everything is ready.
1–2 week setupTechnicians complete the program at their own pace, on any device, without missing shifts. When they pass, they're certified — and you have the compliance documentation to prove it. Facility Directors track progress in real time through the Director Portal.
Self-paced; most techs complete in 2–4 weeks
Wes has been working in medical gas since 2006, in the field, not behind a desk. He's serviced the equipment your technicians service, navigated the audits your facility faces, and built Lantern Academy because he got tired of watching techs pass a code exam and still not know how to fix anything.
Every Lantern lesson is taught by Wes personally — no AI-generated content, no third-party narrators, no padding. Just field expertise in video form.

$200 per-seat savings for teams of 20 or more. The same complete program, optimized for facilities ready to train their whole crew at once.
Custom discounts for multi-hospital health systems deploying 100+ seats. We'll work with you to standardize training across your entire portfolio.
Satisfaction Guaranteed: If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the training, we will refund your purchase price. No questions asked.
Need to train your Responsible Facility Authority? Our hybrid in-person + online RFA program meets NFPA 99 qualification requirements for the person accountable for your facility's medical gas compliance. Pricing is quoted per facility based on participant count.
Learn About RFA Training →A 6040 class (or similar generic NFPA 99 program) covers medical gas regulations in general terms. Your technician learns what the code says, passes a test, and receives a certificate. They may leave without knowing how to service the specific equipment in your facility.
Lantern builds around your equipment. Before your team starts, we scope the specific makes and models they service. Every lesson covers what they'll actually encounter on the job — including hands-on video instruction on repair and maintenance procedures for those exact units.
When you sign up, we ask you to provide a list of the medical gas equipment your team services — manufacturers, model families, and any particular units you want prioritized. We then configure your facility's course to pull in the relevant lessons, videos, and reference materials for that specific equipment from our Workflow Library.
Technicians won't sit through lessons about equipment they'll never see. The curriculum is filtered to what's actually in your facility.
The program is self-paced, so technicians can work around their shifts. Most complete it in 2–4 weeks when working through it in their available time. There's no deadline pressure — your team moves at whatever pace works for your facility's schedule.
The Director Portal lets you track each technician's progress and set optional cohort deadlines if you need your team certified by a specific date (for example, before an upcoming survey).
Each technician who passes the certification exam receives a digital certificate (immediate access) and a printed certificate suitable for display. Facility Directors automatically receive a copy of every certificate as it's earned.
The Director Portal maintains a full audit trail of course completion, certification dates, and technician progress — exactly what you need to respond to a surveyor asking about your medical gas technician qualifications.
When a technician's 3-year Workflow Library access expires, contact us to discuss renewal. We haven't built automated renewal into the platform yet — renewal pricing and process is handled manually so we can make sure your curriculum is updated for any new equipment your facility has added.
Yes — multi-facility rollouts are one of the things Lantern handles especially well. Each facility gets its own equipment-specific curriculum, and each Facility Director gets their own portal view. System-level administrators can see across all facilities.
For 100+ seats across a health system, contact us for System Rollout pricing. We'll build a deployment plan with you and work with your team's onboarding schedule.
Yes. The Lantern curriculum is mapped to NFPA 99 requirements for medical gas system technician qualification. The certification covers the knowledge and competency requirements surveyors are looking for.
We offer a full refund if you're dissatisfied with the program for any reason. We'd rather you tell us what's wrong so we can fix it — but if the program isn't the right fit, we'll make it right.
Tell us about your team and we'll reach out to discuss the best fit—whether that's a full certification program, a video library subscription, or a custom multi-facility rollout.
