Technical Training
Technical learning for engineers who need to apply the requirements.
Practical training in CE and UKCA conformity, machinery safety, ATEX, DSEAR, hazardous area classification, functional safety, HAZOP, LOPA and process safety — built around the decisions technical teams face in real industrial projects.
CPD accreditation in progress.
ExConform is currently undergoing accreditation with The CPD Standards Office for its technical training provision. The public credential provides a direct way to view the current accreditation status.
What does your team need to understand?
Start with the engineering responsibility or technical problem rather than the course title. Select the area most relevant to your team to identify a suitable starting route.
CE & UKCA Conformity Training
For teams that manufacture, import, modify, integrate or supply machinery and industrial equipment and need a structured understanding of conformity responsibilities.
Typical learning areasBest suited to: manufacturers • OEMs • importers • system integrators • compliance teams
ATEX, DSEAR & Hazardous Area Training
For teams working with equipment for explosive atmospheres or workplaces where flammable gases, vapours, liquids or combustible dust may be present.
Typical learning areasBest suited to: design engineers • manufacturers • plant engineers • EHS • maintenance teams
HAZOP, LOPA & Process Safety Training
For engineering and operational teams that need to identify process hazards, understand deviations, challenge safeguards and participate effectively in structured hazard studies.
Typical learning areasBest suited to: process engineers • project teams • operations • safety engineers
Functional Safety Training
For engineers who need to understand the complete safety function, SIL or Performance Level determination, specification, architecture, verification and validation.
Typical learning areasBest suited to: process • control • electrical • machinery • project engineers
Company-Specific Technical Workshops
For organisations that need training to reflect their own equipment, processes, documentation, engineering roles or current project challenges.
Possible inputsBest suited to: engineering organisations requiring targeted competence development
Learn the principle. Apply the engineering decision.
Technical competence is more than recalling regulatory wording. The training is structured around understanding why the requirement exists, applying it to an engineering situation and recognising where further assessment is required.
Establish the relevant principle, requirement, hazard or technical concept.
Work through practical examples and relate the principle to real equipment or industrial situations.
Question assumptions, safeguards, responsibilities and the evidence supporting the decision.
Take the method back into the participant’s own engineering work and projects.
Technical training routes.
Choose an established course or use the subjects below as the starting point for a company-specific programme. Technical depth can be adapted to participant roles, project context and existing competence.
CE & UKCA Conformity Training
Practical training covering machinery and equipment conformity, responsibilities, risk assessment, standards and technical documentation.
How should machinery and industrial equipment move from design or supply through the applicable conformity process?
Manufacturers, OEMs, importers, system integrators and engineering teams.
View typical syllabus
ATEX Equipment Compliance Training
Practical training for organisations that design, manufacture, modify, import or integrate equipment intended for potentially explosive atmospheres.
How are explosion hazards addressed when designing, selecting and placing equipment for explosive atmospheres on the market?
Equipment manufacturers, designers, importers, integrators and compliance engineers.
View typical syllabus
DSEAR & Hazardous Area Classification Training
Practical workplace training covering flammable substances, explosive atmospheres, hazardous-area classification, ignition control and equipment suitability.
Where can an explosive atmosphere occur, how is the hazardous area classified and how should ignition risks be controlled?
Plant engineers, process engineers, EHS teams, maintenance personnel and operators.
View typical syllabus
Functional Safety Training
Training covering safety functions, SIL and Performance Level determination, lifecycle responsibilities and verification.
How is a safety function identified, specified, designed and demonstrated to achieve the required risk reduction?
Process, control, electrical, machinery and project engineers.
View typical syllabus
HAZOP & LOPA Training
Practical training for personnel who prepare, participate in, facilitate or use the results of HAZOP and Layer of Protection Analysis studies.
How do we systematically identify process deviations, challenge safeguards and determine whether further risk reduction is required?
Process engineers, project engineers, operations, control engineers and process-safety teams.
View typical syllabus
Machinery Safety & Risk Assessment Training
Training covering machinery hazards, risk assessment, protective measures, modifications, integration and conformity interfaces.
How should machinery hazards be assessed and reduced throughout design, integration, modification and use?
Machine builders, OEMs, integrators, design engineers and plant engineering teams.
View typical syllabus
Process Safety Training
Focused training on process hazards, loss of containment, safeguards, major-accident scenarios and process-safety principles.
How do process hazards develop, how can major events escalate, and how do engineering safeguards control the risk?
Engineering, operations, project, maintenance and process-safety teams.

Build the training around your organisation.
Training does not need to rely entirely on generic examples. Course content can be adapted around your products, machinery, documents, processes, responsibilities and current engineering challenges.
Choose the technical area
Start with the engineering competence your organisation needs to develop.
Use your engineering environment
Relevant company material can help connect the principles directly to current work.
Match the participant roles
Technical depth and examples can be adapted to participant responsibilities and existing knowledge.
Work through the decisions
Use worked examples, discussion and technical scenarios to apply the learning rather than simply reviewing theory.
Understand how the technical decisions connect.
ExConform training is intended to show the relationship between hazards, assessment methods, engineering safeguards and the evidence needed to support a decision.
What participants should be better able to do afterwards.
The aim is to leave participants with a clearer engineering method, not simply a completed training session.
Understand which requirements, principles or standards are relevant to the situation being assessed.
Identify hazards, responsibilities, missing evidence or technical gaps more systematically.
Explain the engineering basis behind a conformity, safety or risk-assessment decision.
Understand what technical evidence, records, calculations or documentation should support the decision.
Recognise when a question requires additional information, specialist assessment or further engineering review.
Training informed by consultancy experience.
ExConform training is grounded in the same engineering disciplines used in conformity assessments, machinery reviews, hazardous-area work, process-hazard studies and functional-safety projects.
