compex training

[lozz]

Hi people

I am thinking about doing the compex electrical training course, could anyone inform me of how much they payed for this course, and is it hard to do??

Jd-1 what center did you use?

You should have a fair idea on the day you do the practical if you have performed well. Especially with the barrier glands.

They have to send the marks off to JTL which takes a number of weeks.

I done it at EPIT. Didn't find them much helpful tbh. I though the practical went well. There was certainly nothing wrong with my barrier gland

Center used: ASET Aberdeen
YES in our school-days, we used to get our 'WRONG ANSWERS' back, with a RED MARKING, so that you have a change to LEARN BY ONES MISTAKES ...... Here they just say: F A I L E D
EX04 Section B Close Inspection
EX04 Section C Detailed Inspection
Which may me wonder IF I really DID find the faults, but recorded them in the 'wrong fields' .....
smells a lot like a 'money-machine' to me........
Furthermore we were given a CD with an 'outdated course' from 2010, where the book USED was from 2012 and NOT allowed to be removed from the class room ..... :-(

The content of the course will still be the same even tho dated from 2010.

Standards are high but for very good reasons.

Follow the inspection guide in the toolbox book when you are re-sitting your inspection modules.

I failed the visual and close inspections. But if I passed the detailed inspection then I must have found all the faults, so I would assume anyway. It's definitely a money maker for the training companies. And another thing, there is absolutely no way that course is a one-week course. It should be two weeks at least ! The prices of the course itself are absolutely ridiculous as well. I done mine at EPIT Aberdeen.

I better get a job at the end of this to make my money back !

This is the self styled training industry,they want your money and they want lots of it for the course.
They are greedy so they all have high failure rates to make even more money on expensive resits.
It would suprise you who owns these training centers and survival training centers.

True statement.
It is a very expensive industry to get into, but once you get the first couple of trips then that is your courses paid for and then some.

Money is no object to most of the big oil companies, but the training providers......

Most of those survival training centers are like conveyor belts. You are just a number, there is no personal approach to the training.

Had mine for 2 years now and not used it once. You need it for off shore but then they ask for experience and survival certificates so you got no chance if yve never been off shore.

Well how are people supposed to get offshore then? How did the people who work offshore get out there for the first time?
