Compex Training

[Jayglynn]

Hi Guy's

Does anybody know where I can get some information or even course material for the Compex course. I've plenty of experience in Industrial installations but none in Hazardous and I'm just getting a little worried as I've been told you need this and that it's a pretty hard course. Any help would be much appreciated.

Lol, tried that mate. I'm looking for lads who have done it.

 

[steptoe]

what part are you doing?

there are loads of different bits to it, I only ever done 3 of them, and yes, its hard.

what do you need it for?

 

[Manator]

Steps he may have to do all 4

However you will have to provide proof of other course work which is not electrical.

 

[steptoe]

4 ?

IIRC there was 7 sections to it when I done it, that was a few years back now though.

AH, just had a look, 4 for sparks, but if he is hoping to get on the fields or rigs he may need some of the mech ones too,

I only had 2 spark ones and a mech one, for whatever reason that is what was needed from me. :C

Yes, there are only 4 which are for electrical, but, they surprise you by telling you later that you have to also do some other modules to allow you to satisfy the requirements.

Another money making scheme, so during your electrical workings you have to know about things like dust control, so there lies another module.

and, if your on the rigs you need survival, thats another £1500 or more maybe now,
oh, Im not sure if its still like it now, but even if you were working on the rigs in dry dock you still needed survival 'cos the [moron] unions had it that way,
they say they are for the workers, but unless you were in the club paying the union £1500 for a 2 day short course you werent allowed to work in a dry dock cos you didnt have survival [renewable yearly BTW] !!

Hi Jayson, I have just e-mailed you a set of notes, enjoy

 

[Jayglynn]

Got all my offshore tickets BOSIET, MIST, OGUK Medical, Slinger/Banksman Stage 1 & Rigger Stage 1.Also doing City & Guilds 2800 in Instrumentation in March. All these and Compex I thought I might even get adhoc work.

 

[steptoe]

Where are you wanting to work?

On the rigs?

 

[Jayglynn]

That's the plan anyway, I know it won't be easy though.

 

[steptoe]

Try northsea tigers, its hard getting in without any experience or contacts though,

and the money not like it used to be.
