The CompEx course currently consists of ten training and assessment units. These units can be studied individually or as complementary pairs.
Whats Available?
Electrical
The training and practical assessment programme is provided for electrical personnel who undertake the physical installation and assembly of new 'Ex' equipment and, who perform preventive maintenance and inspections on previously installed equipment.
Dust
These units are used to extend the competence for craftsmen working on Electrical Apparatus for use in the Presence of Combustible Dusts.
Petrol Forecourt
For safe electrical work to be conducted on fuel filling stations there is also a need to utilise only competent persons to carry out this work, an issue suggested by the Electricity at Work Regulations and reinforced by the ATEX 137 directive.
Water Industry
These units will ensure those working in the water industry and seeking evidence of competence have been subjected to training provision that is comprehensive and provides practical and technically acceptable methodology for identifying / classifying hazardous areas.
Design & Project Engineers
Currently under development with a Industry Working Group to deliver a Competency Certificate to these professional engineers.
Foundation Unit
This is the latest training unit developed as a training unit only to give a full understanding of the requirements of working safely in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Designed specifically for electrical supervisors, Contract Managers and Senior Management, to enable a greater appreciation of CompEx core competency and the promotion of safe working.
