API TES: Tank Entry Supervisor (API Exam Preparation Training)
Program Overview
Entry into petroleum storage tanks for inspection, cleaning or repair is one of the highest-risk activities at terminals and refineries, combining flammable vapours, toxic atmospheres, residues and confined space hazards. This programme prepares supervisors for the API Tank Entry Supervisor exam by working through the requirements of API Standard 2015 and the guidance in API RP 2016: planning and hazard assessment, tank isolation, vapour freeing and degassing, atmospheric testing, ventilation, entry permits, attendant and rescue arrangements, and sludge removal. Practice questions and terminal case studies reinforce safe decision-making.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Explain the responsibilities of the entry supervisor, attendant, entrant and qualified tester under API Standard 2015.
- ✓Develop a tank entry and cleaning plan covering isolation, removal from service, vapour freeing and residue removal.
- ✓Specify atmospheric testing for oxygen, flammable vapours and toxic substances such as H2S and benzene, and interpret readings against entry criteria.
- ✓Select ventilation methods and respiratory protection appropriate to tank conditions.
- ✓Complete an entry permit and define attendant, communication and rescue arrangements.
- ✓Answer exam-style questions on API Standard 2015 and API RP 2016 with confidence.
Target Audience
- Tank entry and confined space supervisors
- Terminal and refinery operations supervisors
- HSE officers and permit-to-work coordinators
- Supervisors of tank cleaning and inspection contractors

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants prepare a complete entry and cleaning plan for a crude or gasoline storage tank at a GCC terminal, including an isolation list, degassing and ventilation method, atmospheric testing schedule, entry permit and rescue plan, then sit a timed practice exam.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
