Other Trainings
PASS' learning management system is flexible enough to accommodate other trainings, both inside and outside the petroleum industry.

PASS Tools
In 2013, PASS launched PASS Tools, a compliance and inspection suite. Designed for optimal function on tablet computers, PASS Tools allows UST inspectors to input data collected during an inspection (e.g., tank locations, size, contents) into a secure database and automatically generate to-do lists, inspection schedules, calendar reminders, compliance forms and more using that data. Company owners can log into the system from anywhere to access each facility's data and track inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
