What's new about the Online version of PLST?
PLST Online is now available anytime and anywhere. It is up-to-date with the latest best practices and industry standards and includes the following features: interactive lessons, electronic reporting of student progress and additional checklists and reference materials. Future updates to the online training are instantaneous for all participating companies.


Why Online training?
Online training introduces flexibility, automated student tracking, increased learning retention, dynamic content and randomized testing into traditional line service training programs, ultimately improving line service efficiency and productivity.


Why does the PLST Online have eight modules?
PLST Online took the video program and integrated the refueling modules into module three.  The safety and servicing aspects of refueling are also included in modules one and two.  Although the online program contains eight modules, the training time has increased to an average of nine hours from the original six and a half hours.
