PLST Hands-On Training & Practical Exams - Overview

The NATA Safety 1st PLST program is unique in that it is not just computer based training. In order to achieve PLST Certification a student must also undergo hands-on training provided by your local trainer and pass a series of practical exams.

The PLST includes 75 specific hands-on training topics that are broken into sections that match the online training modules. We recognize that some locations may not perform certain services that are listed in the hands-on training requirements, such as de-iceing, so you do have the option of marking those items as Not Applicable (N/A).
