Distiction from Nord-Kurs

TÜV NORD Diagnostics and Nord-Kurs are independent companies within the TÜV NORD GROUP, each with different remits. TÜV NORD Diagnostics, through the Medical-Psychological Institute (MPI), carries out diagnostic services such as MPUs and proof of abstinence. Nord-Kurs, on the other hand, offers counselling and preparatory services, particularly for MPU preparation.

This organisational separation complies with the statutory requirement for separation and ensures that preparation and assessment are carried out independently of one another. This guarantees the objectivity, neutrality and independence of the diagnostic assessment.

Distinction within TÜV NORD GROUP

Within the TÜV NORD GROUP, TÜV NORD Diagnostics is part of the ‘People & Empowerment’ division and focuses on diagnostic services for individuals and organisations.

Unlike other companies in the Group, the emphasis is not on technical testing, certification or training, but on the analysis of suitability, potential and behaviour as a basis for decision-making.

Distinction from other TÜV organisations

TÜV NORD Diagnostics is an independent company within the TÜV NORD GROUP. It is not affiliated with TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland, TÜV AUSTRIA, TÜV Hessen or TÜV Thüringen. These organisations are legally and organisationally independent.
