EEMUA and TÜV SÜD Akademie have signed a joint venture agreement that allows TÜV SÜD Akademie to run the EEMUA TankAssessor™ training competency scheme in Germany using the expertise and intellectual property of EEMUA.

Stefan Kukula, EEMUA Chief Executive said: “As part of the EEMUA CompeTank™ competency validation scheme, the TankAssessor™ training and competency course is recognised worldwide in helping to ensure the safe operation of industrial storage tanks. The course is already offered in English, Dutch and French and we look forward to working with TÜV SÜD Akademie in enhancing the presence of TankAssessor™ within the German market”.

The initial intent is for TÜV SÜD Akademie to run two courses in Germany each year, with the inaugural course running on 5-9 October 2015.
