You will also be given an Authorization Number, which will need to be included on your UST registration form.

The course synthesizes, explains, and cites New York’s specific UST requirements drawn from:Tank IQ, the NYDEC’s exam study guide;DER-40, the NYDEC’s operator training policy;New York’s PBS regulations (6 NYCRR 613); andNew York’s CBS regulations (6 NYCRR 596-599).When you’re ready to prepare for the New York exam, remember that PASS offers you more than just a pdf file directing you to the exam website.

PASS’ state-specific UST Class A/B training courses are custom tailored to meet state requirements, and are accepted by more states than any other training provider.

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.

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.

Practical American Safety Solutions, better (and more easily) known as PASS Training & Compliance, or PASS, was founded in response to the passing of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, when the idea of UST Operator Training was first introduced. We worked closely with many state legislators and regulators to help finalize their laws to meet the federal requirements. We then quickly grew to expand relationships with nearly every US state and territory to become one of the country’s largest providers of UST Operator Training via our web-based learning management system, PASS Training.

As regulations grew and evolved, so did the demand on the time and attention of UST operators. We saw this as an opportunity to even better serve our customers, which lead to the development of our cloud-based compliance manage platform, PASS Tools for Companies, along with our partner-driven service provider network, PASS Tools for Service Providers.

As things continue to change we will always have a finger on the pulse of regulations and compliance in the UST and AST industries, to help ensure that our customers are equipped with everything necessary to easily and effectively do their jobs.
