Electrical Equipment in Explosive Atmosphere (EEEA) – Training Courses
Competence depends on technical knowledge, skill, experience and training. Measurement of competence is a difficult task and requires specific assessment methods which have been developed by the IECEx Certification of Personnel Competence Scheme. Competence evolves with years and may deteriorate, so continued training and assessment is necessary.
AVERNOBLE is conducting Ex training courses to fulfil the technical knowledge required for various area of design, selection, installation, maintenance, inspection, audit, overhaul and repair of Ex equipment based on ATEX, IEC Standards, ANZEx Standards, etc. Our trainers are CompEx and IECEx CoPC certified professionals and are having many years of industrial experience in similar field.
