If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in London and the South East 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 London and the South East Has High CompEx Demand
London and the South East has a range of facilities requiring CompEx-certified electricians — pharmaceutical manufacturing in Hertfordshire and Surrey, food manufacturing across the region, chemical distribution and storage facilities, and industrial sites in the Thames estuary area. While the concentration of oil and gas work is lower than in Aberdeen or Teesside, the demand for CompEx certification in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries is significant.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in London and the South East working in London and South East industrial sector 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)

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.
