TrainingUnlimited membership

# insightEx one.

insightEx one is an unlimited Ex training membership for equipment manufacturers. Eight e-learning courses cover every role you employ, from shop-floor awareness to Authorised Person, for one annual price per organisation rather than per head.

People trained

Why a membership

## Per-head pricing is why teams are undertrained.

When training is charged per person, someone has to decide who goes without. Usually that is the people furthest from the design office, which is exactly where an assessor starts asking questions.

insightEx one removes the decision. One annual price, unlimited access, every course open to everyone who needs it. Train the operator and the certification engineer on the same subscription, and train the new starter in week one rather than at the next budget cycle.

Courses cover the history and the reasoning behind each subject, not just the clause. People who understand why a rule exists apply it correctly in situations the course never covered.

The courses

## Eight courses, one membership

Every tier includes all eight. Start people where their role sits and let them climb as their responsibilities grow.

000

iEx000

### Ex Awareness

An understanding of what the Ex industry is and why it exists, and the recognition that everyone plays a part in Ex safety. The right starting point for shop-floor, warehouse, admin and non-technical staff.

Everyone on site

001

iEx001

### Ex Supervisor

A deeper understanding of how the Ex industry is organised and regulated, for people carrying responsibility for others or for a process step that affects conformity.

Team leaders, supervisors

002

iEx002

### New Ex Engineer

Develops the technical skills engineers need to understand, interpret and apply Ex principles with confidence rather than by precedent.

Engineers, new starters

003

iEx003

### General Principles

Builds essential knowledge and confidence in hazardous area safety across the protection concepts, gas groups and temperature classes. A one-day course and the technical backbone of the collection.

Engineers, quality, design

004

iEx004

### Cable and Cable Gland Selection

The requirements of IEC 60079-14 for safe cable and gland selection in hazardous areas, taught through our own five-step selection process.

Design, installation

005

iEx005

### QAN QAR Awareness

The requirements, responsibilities and expectations of QAN and QAR for Ex manufacturers, so an audit is not the first time your team meets them.

Quality, management

006

iEx006

### Ex Authorised Person

The additional responsibilities that come with the Ex Authorised Person role, including the legal requirements that sit behind the signature.

Authorised Persons, signatories

007

### Certification Workshop

From start to finish, and everything in between. This workshop takes you on a journey through the stages of a product certification project (and the standards) to help you succeed.

Certification, design leads

Roles and responsibilities

## Ex competence is not just an engineering problem

ISO/IEC 80079-34 expects documented competence across ten roles, from the shop floor to marketing. Open a role to see what is required and the evidence an assessor asks for.

Roles as defined in ISO/IEC 80079-34 Note 1. Where a person holds more than one of these roles, the competence and evidence requirements are cumulative. Course mapping is our recommendation, not a requirement of the standard, and we will work through yours with you.

Prices shown are annual, per organisation, excluding VAT. The figure scales with the size of your organisation, so twenty people and five hundred people are not priced the same, and there is a discount where you need to cover multiple sites. Tell us your headcount and we will give you a firm number.

FAQs

## Questions about the membership

Still not covered? [Send us the question](https://insightex.co.uk/contact?hsLang=en-gb). An engineer answers, not a chatbot.

Is insightEx one priced per person?

No. It is an organisation-wide subscription, so the price does not change as you train more people. One annual figure covers unlimited access for everyone who needs it, which is the point: competence should not be rationed because the training budget is per head.

How quickly can we get started?

Onboarding takes about fifteen minutes. We set up your portal, add your team, and they can begin the same day. Courses are e-learning, so nobody waits for a scheduled date or travels to a venue.

Does the training produce audit evidence?

Yes. Every completion is recorded against the individual and the course, and the plus and infinity tiers add a competency matrix mapping your Ex-relevant roles to the training each requires. That is the document an assessor asks to see.

What happens when you add new courses?

On infinity, new courses are included automatically for the life of the subscription. On the other tiers they are available to add. We added the iEx007 Certification Workshop most recently.

## See it before you buy it.

A twenty-minute demo walks you through the portal and the courses with your own team's roles in mind. No obligation and no sales script.
