When you book onto the CompEx RPP course, you’ll receive free access to our Explosion Protection Awareness – Electrical and Ex Equipment Selection e-learning modules. These online courses complement the in-person RPP training, providing essential background knowledge on hazardous area concepts, electrical safety, and the correct selection of Ex equipment. Together, they help reinforce your understanding and ensure you’re well-prepared to get the most out of your CompEx RPP learning experience.
The CompEx Recognised Practitioner Programme (Ex01RPP-Ex04RPP), formerly known as the 'CompEx Refresher' course, provides update and refresher training and assessment for electrical and instrument technicians working in hazardous areas. Theoretical selection and fault identification training and assessment take place within a number of simulated situations, which allow operatives to continue to meet national competence standards.
