California UST Facility Operator Training

This training is crucial for the safe and compliant management of Underground Storage Tank (UST) systems. This training ensures operators are well-versed in the necessary procedures to prevent environmental contamination and effectively handle emergencies.


PASS's comprehensive UST Facility Operator training programs meet federal and state regulations. Their courses are designed to be engaging and informative, providing operators with the knowledge to manage UST systems efficiently. The training covers essential topics such as spill and overfill prevention, release detection methods, emergency response procedures, and regulatory compliance.

The importance of UST Facility Operator training cannot be overstated. Properly trained operators are essential for maintaining the integrity of UST systems, preventing leaks and spills that could harm the environment, and ensuring the safety of the facility and surrounding community. By completing this training, operators help protect public health and the environment from potential hazards associated with UST systems.

The PASS UST Class C training course is divided into four chapters, summarized here. The course utilizes a combination of text, images, and narration to create a multi-faceted learning experience for various learning styles. For maximum retention, each chapter is followed by a short quiz. If the student answers a quiz question incorrectly, they are automatically redirected to the part of the course that covered that information. The student is then given another opportunity to answer the question. This reflexive quizzing model ensures comprehension of the course material and reinforces learner retention. 

Once a student has completed all chapters and quizzes (approximately 30 minutes), we will provide the student with a training certificate. They will be directed to complete the Orientation Checklist with their manager or Class A/B operator. It is important that this checklist is completed on-site because it covers information specific to their individual facility.

**Both of these documents are required to be considered a Class C Operator!**

All of PASS's UST operator training courses meet and exceed the federal requirements and are offered through our in-house designed and built Learning Management System (LMS). There is a reason PASS has more state-approved A/B training courses than any other training provider.

Our courses are available on demand 24/7 and accessible from any internet-connected computer, tablet, or phone. The student can complete an entire course in a single session or take it 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.
