Having been in the Hazardous Area Industry for several years Ex-PERT are passionate about all things Ex, including the importance of training, and they have been considering for some time how to improve it. Their feeling was that there were plenty of great training courses and providers out there but if you didn’t know about them, or if you selected the wrong course or provider, then the opportunity to receive the best training was lost.

So they set about talking to providers, sitting courses and getting a good grasp of the strengths, suitability and applications of each…. and learning a thing or two along the way! The biggest surprise was that several courses could have similar titles and content but be so very different - including the level of person that it would be suitable for, the way in which the course was presented and what would be achieved from it. It was also interesting to see that some of the best courses were also some of the best kept secrets, being almost impossible to find on the World Wide Web!  
    
As a result Ex-PERT have launched their Training Broker Service, where they work in the best interests of their customers to provide the strongest training courses by the most experienced providers in the industry (with the course cost the same as going direct).

So who are the Providers?
They vary from large multi-nationals who are key influencers and contributors to the content and interpretations of standards, to small specialist consultants with lifetimes of experience and in-the-job knowledge.

Some of the Providers:

And what do the Courses Cover?

• The core areas of course expertise include but are not limited to:
• CompEx
• The ATEX Directives and Standards
• The IECEx Scheme
• US and other Global Certification Requirements

There are also a number of courses that focus on specific types of equipment for example Intrinsically Safe Applications, Trace Heating Systems and Ex Turbines and Engines.          

These courses are all located in one place (www.ex-pert.com/training) with a filtering system for content, location and course type (online, classroom and on-site) as well as dates and availability. They accurately represent each course’s content in a uniform format so that they are easy to compare, and include a helpful ‘What we say about this Course’ section which pulls upon Ex-PERT’s own personal experience and honest feedback of each course.
