Personal Qualification Programme – Process Industry

SGS-TÜV Saar as an accredited services provider offers you the opportunity to teach the specialised knowledge relating to Functional Safety to personnel and to qualify them as PIFSPs in this way. As an individual you will be able to justify – or even enhance – your market value with this type of qualification. As a company you will enjoy the opportunity to have your staff independently qualified and to secure this specialised know-how in the long term.

Content

We will qualify you or your staff for working with Functional Safety. At SGS-TÜV Saar, we have developed a two-level qualification programme for this purpose. Following successful completion of this qualification programme, the SGS-TÜV Saar seal in a certificate will certify to the participant that he/she is a Process Industry Functional Safety Professional (PIFSP).

Steps required for obtaining PIFSP certification:

Prerequisites

You will acquire ‘PIFSP’ (Process Industry Functional Safety Professional) expert status after having successfully passed the test following completion of the P1 Training Module. Participation in the preparatory P1 Training Module or, alternatively, an equivalent proof of training and/or project experience in Functional Safety Engineering are prerequisites for admission to the test.

Validity

The qualification (PIFSP) is valid for five years. By successfully participating in an online multiple choice test you will be able to extend your qualification by five years. In the case of justified exceptions (illness etc.) the board of examiners may confirm your qualification without a test as well.
