Founding Cohort Only

CGCT™ Exam Prep Portal

Body of Knowledge (BoK) Curriculum & Review

Why this prep is different.

The Founding Cohort is comprised of experienced technicians and grill service owners. You don’t need to be taught "how" to service a grill—you need to see the industry's first standardized language and conceptual framework.

This portal is designed to frame your existing tribal knowledge into a formal, defensible standard. We’ve removed the fluff so you can focus on the specific concepts and physics required for the CGCT™ exam.

Estimated Prep Time: ~5 Hours total for all modules and practice exams.

Step 1: Establish Your Baseline

Take Initial Practice Exam

See where your current field language aligns with the BoK standards.

Part I: Professional Mandate

Ethics, liability, and the independent authority of the Certified Technician.

Part II: Mechanical Architecture & Thermodynamics

Structural integrity, heat distribution patterns, and convection/radiation physics.

Part III: Combustion Kinetics & Material Physics

Gas-to-oxygen ratios, orifice pressures, and the science of material failure.

Part IV: Scientific Principles of Restorative Maintenance

Chemical carbon removal, pH balancing, and restorative surface protection.

Curriculum Note Part V (Advanced Field Diagnostics) is reserved for the Certified Advanced Grill Service Technician (CAGST) Exam, and is not a prerequisite for the CGCT™ Founding Cohort Exam.

Part VI: Standardized Documentation

Professional reporting, safety checklists, and defensible service records.
