The awarding of Recognised Training Provider (RTP) status to an organisation indicates their commitment to provide relevant training services on the basis that these have been reviewed in accordance with IECEx Operational Document OD 521.
Training organisations interested in seeking IECEx RTP Status should consult IECEx Operational Document OD 521 for details.
Employees can obtain confirmation of their qualifications in one of ten areas, e.g. basic, zoning, equipment installation, operation, repair or installation design. To obtain this certificate, they must pass an exam with an examiner also certified by IECEx.
The process of obtaining a certificate of personnel competence is not easy and requires appropriate preparation. That is why IECEx recommends verified training units around the world, awarding them the title of IECEx Recognised Training Provider. After a thorough check of the training center, programs, trainers' competences, etc., the international verification body recognizes that during the training in this unit, the participant will be provided with knowledge in the scope necessary to pass the exam.
