I work offshore and done my Compex (hazardous areas it gets called as well).
To work offshore or in the petro-chem side of things (witch farm, isle of grain etc) this is a must.
I did mine at Aset in Aberdeen, you can do it at various place through out the UK.
Its a 5 day course and covers installation of I.S (intrinsically safe) and non I.S circuits, maintenance and inspection.
Most course you sit EX 01/2/3/4 to cover the above but you can also sit EX 05 and 06 modules to work in combustible dust atmospheres (mines etc)
Price varies from £750 - 1000 + VAT.
I use it every day im at work and it is invaluable and a very important safety tool/course.
Id recommend it to folk who are looking to get into the oil and gas industry as its the minimum requirement you need.
