This course has been developed in consultation with industry to ensure the core competence of existing and potential workers who operate in these environments. The qualification consists of four units, which cover the minimum requirements for safe working practices in hazardous locations. The course includes instruction on how to read hazardous area certification, labelling and documentation, and also informs candidates about the main protection concepts, categories and levels that are applied to certified Ex electrical equipment.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the knowledge and skills to meet the requirements highlighted in the IEC 60079 series of standards and the relevant national standards and directives. This qualification focuses on the minimum specifications identified in IEC 60079:0, IEC 60079:10.1, IEC 60079:14 and IEC 60079:17.

Certification
Candidates who are successful in both the theory and practical assessments will receive a E-Certificate in Core Competence by CompEx Certification Limited (CCL) valid for 5 years.

This qualification is suitable for practicing electrical or instrument operatives who are involved in installing, inspecting and maintaining certified Ex electrical equipment in locations where gases and vapours can potentially create a hazardous area.

Applicants should possess the assumed skills and knowledge as outlined in the competency standards as follows:

  1. Must have good standards of both written and verbal English
  2. Possess Electrical/Instrumentation qualification from the vocation schools that enable us to determine the electrotechnical competence
  3. Possess Employment certification (Clearly indicate the electrical/instrumentation work experience in the recent years)
