CompEx Training East Anglia — Offshore Wind Electricians
If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in East Anglia preparing for your CompEx assessment, EX Academy's online platform gives you full access to preparation materials from anywhere — no travel, no fixed course dates, no rigid schedule.
Why East Anglia Has High CompEx Demand
East Anglia is the UK's leading offshore wind hub, with major installations in the North Sea off the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Substations and cable landing stations may have hazardous area considerations. The region also has significant food and agricultural processing industries with dust explosive atmosphere zones. CompEx requirements vary by role — offshore wind roles may require different certifications to traditional oil and gas work.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in East Anglia working in the East Anglian offshore wind and agricultural processing industry require:
- Ex01 and Ex03 — Installation and inspection for IIA/IIB gas areas
- Ex02 and Ex04 — Required for sites with IIC gas group areas (hydrogen, LNG)
EX Academy is a fully online platform — no need to travel to a classroom. Study during evenings, offshore rotations, or at weekends. Your progress is saved automatically and you can access all 15 inspection simulations, 15 selection scenarios, and 1,185+ practice questions from any device.
What the CompEx Assessment Covers
The CompEx written assessment tests your knowledge of the IEC 60079 series — zone classification, protection types, deficiency classification, equipment selection, and inspection grades. The practical assessment tests your ability to apply this knowledge to real equipment. EX Academy prepares you for both.
