CompEx Training Yorkshire — Hazardous Area Electricians
If you're an electrician or instrument technician based in Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire Has High CompEx Demand
Yorkshire has a diverse industrial base including chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage, and coal mine legacy infrastructure. CompEx certification is required for electricians working at sites with hazardous area classifications — including Zone 1 areas around chemical plant and Zone 20/21 dust zones in food processing facilities.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in Yorkshire working in the Yorkshire chemical and 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)
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.
