Aberdeen College/
ASET Altens Centre
Ex competence training for personnel involved in the installation, inspection
and maintenance of electrical equipment in potentially hazardous
environments. Legislation and guidance for the safe use of electricity in
hazardous areas has its origins in the German and British Coal industries
of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Since then it has become a subject
in its own right. Proven competence in the use of equipment is vital in
the avoidance of commercial and safety related risk and in the majority of
countries the law requires proven competence.
ASET is a world leader in the provision of competence based training in
Ex and our expertise includes areas made hazardous through both gas
and dusts.
Our courses meet the latest standards of BS, EN, ISO and IEC, they cover
all aspects of Ex except for mines. We are validated to provide courses to the
national standard and we provide 60% of the COMPEX training in the UK.
The Ex facility in Aberdeen includes a purpose built unit where up to 24
students at one time are able to get hands-on experience of the equipment
and where practical competence may be assessed. We have an alliance
with Nova Scotia Community College to provide similar training in Canada
and we are able to provide theory courses overseas and consultancy
wherever it is required.
Marine Operations of Self Elevating Platforms (Jack-Up)
The Jack-Up course is a cooperative venture between Noble Denton Marine
Services and ASET and utilises a dynamic simulator in a similar way to the
Ballast control. Once again, this training is unique and allows students to
experience failure modes such as ‘punch-through’.
Radiotelephony

a wide range of MCA approved and internationally recognised radio courses
to industry.

or equivalent in Mathematics or English, with at least three Standard Grade or equivalent passes at grade 1–2/Intermediate 2 in Mathematics, English
and a Science subject. Proven IT skills are also a requirement. Failure to meet any of these requirements may affect the delegate’s ability to satisfactorily
complete the course within the given timescale. The minimum timescale ASET allow for an HNC is 30 weeks. Following are examples of HNC programmes
that ASET, in conjunction with Aberdeen College, is able to deliver.
