TGPV is the Technician level of accreditation and is intended for field technicians who confine their work to inspections and do not prepare verification design or method statements (although they will follow ones prepared by others) and do not prepare verification reports (although they do prepare field records that form part of the verification report).
SGPV is the Specialist level of accreditation and applies to those involved in the whole range of gas protection verification including design of the verification, preparation of method statements, inspections and verification reports.
Please note: If you have already passed the NVQ Level 4 "Verification of Gas Protection Measures" qualification, you are automatically entitled to TGPV status, however, you will still need to complete the Application process.
