Nebraska A/B operator training:
In Nebraska, UST (Underground Storage Tank) A/B operator training is a vital program that ensures the safe and compliant operation of UST systems.
The training is divided into two classes: Class A and Class B.
Class A operators are responsible for the overall management and regulatory compliance of the UST systems, while Class B operators handle the daily operational tasks. This includes monitoring equipment, conducting inspections, and maintaining records. The training is designed to equip operators with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent leaks and spills, thereby protecting the environment and public health.

The training programs are state-approved and available online, providing flexibility for operators to complete the courses at their own pace. These courses cover a comprehensive range of topics, including federal and state regulations, leak detection methods, spill prevention techniques, and emergency response procedures. The use of multimedia elements, such as videos and interactive modules, enhances the learning experience, making it more engaging and effective. Additionally, the training emphasizes the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the integrity of UST systems and prevent environmental contamination.
Upon completion of the training, operators must pass an examination to demonstrate their understanding and competency in UST management. This certification process ensures that operators are well-equipped to handle the responsibilities associated with UST systems. Regular refresher courses are required every five years to keep operators updated on the latest regulations and best practices. By maintaining a high standard of training and certification, Nebraska aims to protect its environment and public health from the potential hazards associated with underground storage tanks.
All of PASS’ UST operator 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.
