This course is designed to prepare Class A/B Operators for the Missouri PSTIF Class A/B UST Operator Certification Exam while providing a comprehensive understanding of Missouri's underground storage tank regulations and compliance requirements. Unlike taking the certification exam alone, this course equips operators with the practical knowledge needed to properly operate and maintain UST facilities in compliance with state regulations.

​

Please note that Missouri also accepts Petro Classroom's Iowa, Illinois, and Kentucky Class A/B UST Operator courses to satisfy Missouri's Class A/B operator training requirements. Operators who complete one of these courses may simply submit their Certificate of Completion to meet Missouri's certification requirement, eliminating the need to take the PSTIF certification exam.
