New York UST Class A/B Exam Preparation

Description

Successfully completing the PASS course will not provide you with A/B certification. UST Class A/B operators at regulated Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) and Chemical Bulk Storage (CBS) facilities in the state of New York can become certified by taking and passing the appropriate online exam offered through the NYDEC’s website.  There are three different exams.The Class A operator exam consists of approximately 65 questions and has a time limit of 2 hours.The Class B operator exam consists of approximately 50 questions and has a time limit of 2 hours.The Class A/B operator exam consists of approximately 80 questions and has a time limit of 2½ hours.

If you take but do not pass the exam, you must wait 24 hours before retaking the exam. Once you have passed, you will able to print your operator training certificate. You will also be given an Authorization Number, which will need to be included on your UST registration form. To help UST Class A/B operators prepare for the exam, PASS has thoroughly researched and written an online preparatory course.  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.

This is an actual preparatory course offered through the PASS LMS, which means you can take it at any time using any internet-connected device.  There is no special software to download and no taking time out of your busy schedule to attend a classroom training. All of PASS’ UST Class A/B Exam Preparation 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 UST Class 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 UST Training Course in a single session (approximately 4 hours plus exam time) or take the course in segments.

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.
