What is the difference between VOP and VP? 

Through the NEN 3140 VOP course, it is possible to carry out electrotechnical operations – with a limited risk – as a non-electrotechnically trained person. Please note: this is done with specific instructions and a specific indication by the employer. 

However, a Skilled Person (VP) is electrically trained and may – after designation by the employer – independently carry out work on low-voltage installations, for example. A SIP/VOP is in fact under a VP. Are you already a VOP and you want to learn more in depth? Then follow a NEN 3140 course Competent Person.
