No training needed filling from banks, just knowing what you are doing and paying attention and not over filling. I have done lots of fills or air and banked Nitrox, and if you go to a place like Amigo’s you fill yourself as a customer. My biggest advice would be don’t let a customer pressure you into overfilling, some like to push the lbs up. On an aluminum tank, 3200-3400 max, on steele 3800 max. In cave country and I have seen them go up over 4000, thats getting pretty high, just a couple of weeks ago when I was down there a disk blew on a tank that was being filled. If you have not experienced that it is a hell of a noise and scares the crap out of you, at least it does to me.
Good luck with the job, it will be great experience, you learn a lot about diving working around it. I have learned a lot working around shops and on boats.
