Alaska A/B UST operator Training: The Alaska A/B Operator Training program equips underground storage tank (UST) operators with essential knowledge and skills to manage and maintain UST systems in line with state and federal regulations. This training is vital for preventing environmental contamination and ensuring the safety of both the facility and the surrounding community. The program covers a comprehensive range of topics, including regulatory requirements, financial responsibility, emergency response, and release detection methods, all tailored to the unique environmental conditions and regulatory landscape of Alaska.

Class A operators, who are responsible for the overall operation and maintenance of UST systems, receive comprehensive training on regulatory compliance and system management. This includes understanding financial responsibility, developing and implementing emergency response plans, and mastering various release detection methods. 

 

Class B operators, who handle the UST system's day-to-day operations, focus on practical aspects such as operation and maintenance practices, record-keeping, and troubleshooting. This dual-level training approach ensures that both strategic oversight and practical management are thoroughly addressed, providing a robust framework for effective UST system management.

 

The training is delivered through our online course making it accessible and engaging for all participants. Upon successful completion, operators receive certification recognized by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), which must be renewed periodically to maintain compliance. By completing this course, UST operators in Alaska are better prepared to manage their systems effectively and respond promptly to any issues that may arise, ensuring the long-term safety and sustainability of their operations.

 

All of PASS’ UST Training courses meet and exceed the federal requirements for UST operator training and are offered through our in-house designed and built Learning Management System (LMS). PASS’ state-specific A/B training courses are custom tailored to meet state requirements, and are accepted by more states than any other training provider.  Our courses are available on demand, 24/7 and are accessible from any internet-connected computer, tablet, or phone. The student can complete an entire course in a single session or take the course in segments. The training may be stopped and restarted, allowing for maximum schedule flexibility. PASS also does not impose time restrictions on course access, so students may take as much time as they need to complete their training.

PASS’ UST operator training course content is divided into chapters. Each chapter utilizes a combination of text, images, and narration, providing a multi-faceted learning experience for diverse learning styles. Each chapter is followed by a quiz. If the student answers a quiz question incorrectly, the application automatically redirects the student to the correct course information. The student is then given another opportunity to answer the quiz question. This reflexive quizzing model ensures comprehension of the course material and reinforces learner retention.

In addition to the quizzes, the UST Class A/B operator training course includes a final exam, 80% of which must be answered correctly in order to print a certificate. The trainee can complete the entire course in a single session (approximately 4 hours plus exam time) or take the course in segments.
