EPIT Launches Free E-Learning with CompEx Training

Home / Updates /

PRESS RELEASE

EPIT Group (EPIT), a leading provider of electrical and hazardous area training in Aberdeen, is launching free access to e-learning programmes for all CompEx delegates from 15 October 2025. The modules, previously offered at a 50% discount, are now included in the course price at no additional cost.

The e-learning content has been recently updated to reflect the latest standards, ensuring delegates receive the most current information before attending their courses.

From 15 October, all delegates will receive complimentary two-week access to essential e-learning modules before their course begins:

CompEx Ex01–Ex04 candidates receive access to Explosion Protection Awareness – Electrical

CompEx RPP candidates receive access to both Explosion Protection Awareness – Electrical and Ex Equipment Selection

Enhanced Learning Experience

These online modules help delegates:

Strengthen their technical understanding before attending training
Gain confidence in key explosion protection principles
Arrive better prepared and maximize hands-on learning time

Get more value from their time in the classroom and workshop

“We’re committed to giving our delegates every advantage when it comes to competence in hazardous areas. Delegates who complete the e-learning before their CompEx course achieve a pass rate of over 95%, and they consistently tell us it gives them a real head start on what can be challenging material. By including these updated modules at no extra cost, we’re ensuring everyone has access to the preparation that drives success. Better preparation means better learning outcomes, and ultimately, safer working practices” said Martin Constable, Operations Manager at EPIT.
