UST Operator Training Requirements for South Carolina

SCDHEC requires the training and examination of all Class A and Class B operators. To receive the required training and certification, operators can utilize the the following options:

  • Complete the Department’s Operator Training Online Course
  • Complete a SCDHEC-approved course conducted by a third-party provider 

Retraining is required for operators if their facility is found to be non-compliant with UST regulations during an inspection. However, operators can elect to retake the exam every year in lieu of attending retraining.

As for Class C operator training requirements, the SC DHEC requires all Class C operators to be trained by a Class A or Class B operator, or through a state-approved course before they start work. Retraining is not required.
