What people are saying…

“This is the first course I have completed with CompEx and I was very impressed, I particularly liked the opportunity to put theory into practice with the practical work in the workshop and look forward to hearing my results from the assessments.”

Ryan McKenna
Electrical Engineer, Engineering and Major Projects
“I would encourage anyone that does not perform inspections as a primary job function to take the complete CompEx Ex01-Ex04 course. It gives you the chance to have discussion about situations you encounter in the field and how it relates to the CompEx narrative.’

Andy Cedars
Drillship Electrician, Pacific Drilling
"By passing my qualification, I think it instils a higher level of trust from my clients. Holding a CompEx qualification proves my knowledge and gives me the ability to assist them effectively and with confidence.”

Melissa Williams

“Having a good base knowledge makes you think about situations where there could be a requirement for Zoning and ‘Ex’ rating equipment, whereas previously I would have not had the knowledge to comprehend this – I would really recommend the CompEx Ex01-Ex04 qualification.”
