Ben Thomas of UST Training and his long time friend and associate Marcel Moreau recently published this article in LUSTLine about the effectiveness of UST operator training after 10 years of national efforts. It’s a follow-up to the first article written over a decade ago when we were all wondering if UST operator training would be a game-changer for UST compliance. Check it out!

Another first in the world of UST Training: We are excited to announce we have launched the nation’s first Class A/B UST Operator Training course narrated in Hindi for our Hindi-speaking Texas UST Operators.

We recognize the landscape of convenience store operators has changed over the past decade and many of our customers come from diverse backgrounds and speak a growing number of languages. So it makes sense to offer our nationally recognized course in a language that is common to the सुविधा की दुकान (convenience store) world.

Check it out!

We’ve teamed up with Javed Surani, President of Your Environmental Specialist in Beaumont Texas, who helped translate the course into Hindi. Javed’s father, Jalaluddin, who is a convenience store operator, provided the voice talent.

Feedback from our first users of our Hindi-narrated Class C course:

UST Training is pleased to announce our grant program has been renewed in by the Iowa UST Fund so we can continue to provide free Class A/B UST operator in 2021 to all qualifying UST operators in Iowa.

How it works

If you own or operate a UST system in Iowa and have never been a certified Class A/B operator before:

1. Go to https://usttraining.com/course/iowa-class-ab-ust-operator-training/
2. Create an account, add course to your account
3. Start training

It’s that easy.

Feedback in 2020

If you’re stuck at home due to COVID and need to catch upon things you normally don’t have time for, or if you have a team working remotely and need them to brush up on UST compliance, consider a bulk purchase of our Class A/B UST operator training courses.

Here at UST Training, we want you to use this time to get ahead. We’re always looking for new ways to stay safe during COVID and stay tank savvy. We hope this offer provides both. Click to learn more about team discounts.

Good for the following:

It’s been only two months and our free online Class A/B and C UST operator training in the Grand Canyon State is off to a grand start.

UST Training, though a contract with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), has begun providing free training to qualifying AZ UST operators.

Since October 7, 2020, we’ve signed up over 145 Class A/B operators and over 220 Class C operators. Our goal is to have trained Class A/B and C operators at every single one of the 2,000+ Arizona sites by the end of 2021.

We like to think of ourselves as “big picture” people in the world of UST compliance through savvy education. Because we offer training coast to coast (literally, and beyond –from Guam to the US Virgin Islands) we like to look at national UST trends.

As a Class A/B UST Operator, you might want to know where you stand when compared to the rest of the nation.
