ATEX Masterclass

Our ATEX Masterclass is specifically developed for ATEX Expert Personnel, Installation Managers/Responsible Persons, and technical professionals responsible for the design, management, and maintenance of installations in hazardous areas. The training focuses on deepening knowledge and strengthening practical skills within the ATEX domain. Not only are electrical installations explained, but non-electrical installations are also discussed.

The ATEX Masterclass is delivered over a total of 8 days, consisting of 6 days of theory, 1 practical day, and 1 exam day. The theory component is taught at our training centres in Stellendam or Zwolle and is spread over 8 weeks. A practical day/session is scheduled on day 4 at a location belonging to one of the participants, if this can be organised. Here, several practical assignments will be carried out, followed by practical assessments. Participants will be provided with lunch, coffee, tea, and soft drinks on all days.

What to expect from the ATEX Masterclass?

In this in-depth masterclass, we cover the responsibilities and risks involved in working in ATEX zones.

Theory and practice are seamlessly combined, with dedicated time for case studies, discussion, and application to your own work situation. In the end, you will learn how to implement ATEX across the organisation.
