The only interactive platform where you practise inspection, equipment selection, and exam-style decisions — exactly as you'll face them offshore.
See real work orders, real deficiencies, real decisions — and instant expert feedback referenced to IEC 60079-17.
Every other CompEx prep site gives you notes to read and multiple choice to click through. EX Academy puts you in the scenario — work order in hand, equipment in front of you, decision to make.
Each simulation gives you a real work order — equipment tag, zone, gas group, certificate number, installed date. You inspect it the same way you would on site: visual first, then close, then detailed.
You'll be making real equipment selection decisions exactly like offshore electricians do — matching enclosures, glands, accessories, and earthing arrangements to the zone and protection type.
Most CompEx prep sites give you PDFs to read. EX Academy puts you in the decision.

Finally a platform that makes you think like you're actually on the job. The inspection simulator is unlike anything else I've found for CompEx prep.
The equipment selection scenarios are brilliant. I'd never really understood the barrier gland volume rule until I had to apply it in a real decision. It clicked immediately.
Walked into my CompEx assessment feeling genuinely prepared. The deficiency classification practice is exactly what the exam tests and nothing else covers it like this.
