CompEx Training South Wales — Petrochemical and LNG
If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in South Wales 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 South Wales Has High CompEx Demand
South Wales — particularly the Milford Haven waterway in Pembrokeshire — is a major UK energy hub. The Dragon LNG terminal, South Hook LNG terminal, and Valero Pembroke Refinery are all located in this area. LNG terminals handle liquefied natural gas and create extensive IIC gas group areas, making Ex02/Ex04 certification essential for electricians working at these sites.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in South Wales working in the South Wales energy 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.
