CompEx Training Teesside — Petrochemical and Chemical Electricians
If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in Teesside 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 Teesside Has High CompEx Demand
Teesside is home to one of the UK's largest concentrations of chemical and petrochemical facilities — including the Wilton complex, Seal Sands, and surrounding industrial estates. Sites operated by major companies including SABIC, Venator, Huntsman, and others require CompEx-certified electricians for installation and maintenance of hazardous area equipment. The Teesside industrial area also includes hydrogen production, refinery operations, and gas processing — requiring Ex02/Ex04 for IIC areas.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in Teesside working in the Teesside petrochemical and chemical 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.
