CompEx Training Scotland — Online Preparation Platform
If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in Scotland 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 Scotland Has High CompEx Demand
Scotland has two major centres of hazardous area electrical work — Aberdeen and the offshore sector, and Grangemouth which is Scotland's only oil refinery and one of the UK's largest petrochemical sites. Scottish offshore electricians typically require full CompEx Ex01/Ex02/Ex03/Ex04 certification. Grangemouth workers require Ex01/Ex03 as a minimum, with Ex02/Ex04 for IIC areas in the refinery and chemical plant areas.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in Scotland working in the Scottish offshore and petrochemical 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.
