Global testing and certification body TUV SUD announced on the 16th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mokpo National University and Taiwan International Wind Training Corporation (TIWTC) to strengthen training of wind power industry personnel and safety and technical education.
This agreement was promoted based on a shared understanding of the need to cultivate specialized personnel to meet the demands of the global wind power industry, with the aim of establishing a stable operation and cooperative system for the Global Wind Organization (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT) course in Korea.
TUV SUD Korea operates the GWO Training Center in Sinan, South Jeolla Province, providing wind power industry safety training that meets international standards. Building on its existing support for strengthening on-site safety capabilities through Basic Safety Training (BST), this agreement expands the scope of training by establishing a cooperative system for the operation of the Basic Technical Training (BTT) program.
This collaboration is expected to contribute to enhancing the level of safety and expertise across the wind power industry, particularly in Korea, by simultaneously strengthening the technological understanding and safety capabilities required in the offshore wind power industry.
Under the agreement, each organization will share responsibilities and support the operation of the GWO BTT training course. Mokpo National University will be responsible for fostering wind power industry talent by providing training equipment, supporting student participation, and linking undergraduate programs. TIWTC will provide professional instructors and technical expertise that meet GWO standards, and contribute to improving educational quality by operating the training curriculum and supporting teaching methods. TUV SUD Korea will oversee the operation of the domestic GWO BTT training program, coordinating training facility management, administrative operations, certification linkages, and stakeholder cooperation.
The Global Wind Energy Organization (GWO) is a global organization that establishes internationally recognized training standards to ensure the safety of wind power industry workers. Key training courses include Basic Safety Training (BST) and Basic Technical Training (BTT). TUV SUD Korea supports the strengthening of expertise and safety capabilities among the domestic wind power industry workforce through training programs based on these international standards.
TUV Sud Korea CEO Jeong-wook Seo stated that this agreement is the starting point of cooperation to systematically strengthen the technology and safety capabilities required in the domestic wind power industry, and that the company will contribute to the sustainable growth of the wind power industry and ensure safety in the field by operating education that meets international standards.
