This self-paced E-Learning course is aimed at introducing the principles of consequence modelling and EFFECTS user interface. The training will provide an overview of all the models available within the software: release, pool evaporation, fire, explosion, dispersion, damage, and combined models over 13 units.
The course provides a general theoretical background that is consolidated with multiple practical exercises that will be presented during the course. Participants are required to practice and apply their new knowledge of the software through hands-on exercises.

Overview
Gexcon is proud to introduce the latest addition to our training portfolio: the EFFECTS E-Learning course.
Gexcon’s EFFECTS E-Learning supports competence development for process safety professionals responsible for consequence modelling and risk-informed decision-making. This on-demand training removes scheduling constraints while delivering consistent, high-quality instruction.
The 13-module course covers essential theory, modelling principles, simulations, and practical exercises with built-in knowledge checks. Learners can complete the full programme or select relevant modules to strengthen their ability to use EFFECTS accurately and defensibly in process safety and regulatory contexts.
Whether you want full mastery or to focus on specific topics, EFFECTS E-Learning equips you with the skills and confidence to become a competent EFFECTS user.
Key Benefits of EFFECTS E-Learning:
Immediate Access & Flexibility
- On-demand training removes delays associated with scheduled classroom courses
- Learn at your own pace, from any location, without operational disruption
Process Safety Competence
- Builds a strong understanding of consequence and effects modelling principles
- Reinforces correct model selection, assumptions, and interpretation of results
- Supports consistent and defensible use of EFFECTS in safety studies
Practical, Applied Learning
- Combines theory with recorded demonstrations, simulations, and hands-on exercises
- Knowledge checks ensure understanding and practical capability, not just familiarity
- Focus on real process safety scenarios and workflows
Targeted Skill Development

Course Summary
ATEX training focuses on preventing explosions in workplaces where explosive atmospheres may occur due to flammable substances like gases, vapours, or dusts. It covers the ATEX Directives, which are EU regulations for the safe use of equipment and protective systems in hazardous areas.
The training aims to help individuals understand the risks, prevention methods, and compliance requirements of ATEX directives which requires employers to provide suitable and sufficient training to protect workers from fire and explosion risks related to dangerous substances and potentially explosive atmospheres.
To assist employers in achieving compliance, Gexcon has developed a cost effective, unique, interactive online training tool which allows employers and employees to improve their knowledge on a specialised subject.
Broken down into four modules, it provides a pragmatic overview to the ATEX regulations and offers a basic understanding of the phenomenon of explosions, its effect and the expected consequences, how to become ATEX compliant and how to protect personnel and equipment.
The course is accessed via browser and can be completed to complement working schedules, resulting in minimum disruption to the workplace.

The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) regulate the presence and use of flammable substances in the workplace which includes gases, liquids and dust.
Training plays a vital role as part of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulation 2002 (DSEAR), which requires employers to provide suitable and sufficient training to protect workers from fire and explosion risks related to dangerous substances and potentially explosive atmospheres.
To assist employers in achieving compliance, Gexcon has developed a cost effective, unique, interactive online training tool which allows employers and employees to improve their knowledge on a specialised subject.
Broken down into four modules, it provides a pragmatic overview to the DSEAR regulations and offers a basic understanding of the phenomenon of explosions, its effect and the expected consequences, how to become DSEAR compliant and how to protect personnel and equipment.
The course is accessed via browser and can be completed to complement working schedules, resulting in minimum disruption to the workplace.
By the end of the course, learners will have a pragmatic overview of the DSEAR Regulations and the importance of good housekeeping in a facility where hazardous material is used and stored.
