Digitizing Safety: Trainor and ATTS Partner to strengthen APAC Training Offerings

Top News07/21/2026

To secure hazardous explosive atmospheres (ATEX) in Asia-Pacific, Apave’s subsidiary Trainor has partnered with Singapore-based ATTS. This collaboration delivers flexible, high-quality CompEx e-learning courses directly to regional industries, enabling local professionals to easily access world-class certifications.

Rising ATEX Risks in Asia-Pacific

Rapid industrial expansion in Asia-Pacific's energy and chemical sectors has brought the risk of explosive atmospheres (ATEX) to the forefront. While certified safety skills are critical to prevent accidents, traditional high-level training historically caused significant travel costs and operational downtime. To meet today's demand for agile compliance, Apave addresses this vital gap by exporting its globally recognized technical training expertise directly to the region.

A Strategic Partnership

To make world-class technical training accessible, Trainor - an Apave Group subsidiary specializing in advanced digital learning - is partnering with Singapore-based ATTS.

This collaboration brings together ATTS’ local market expertise and established presence in the Asia-Pacific region and Trainor’s expertise in digital training, including its award-winning, state-of-the-art digital learning platform and highly interactive e-learning modules. By combining technical innovation with localized market expertise, the partnership creates a dynamic educational ecosystem for technical personnel across the region.

The Flexibility of CompEx E-Learning

The partnership focuses heavily on delivering the globally recognized CompEx certification program, the international benchmark for validating core competencies in explosive atmospheres. By digitizing this training, Trainor and ATTS enable technicians to learn at their own pace from any location. This flexible approach eliminates the logistical burden of coordinating multi-day classroom sessions and reduces costs for employers - all while ensuring that high safety standards are consistently met.

Meeting International Standards

Compliance with international regulations is non-negotiable in hazardous industries such as oil, gas, and energy. Global operators must ensure their teams are certified to work safely under strict safety codes. Trainor’s courses are fully aligned with these rigorous international standards, giving learners a valuable, globally portable qualification. This collaboration directly supports the rapid industrial evolution of the Asia-Pacific market.

Thomas Won, Executive Director of ATTS, explains the immediate value for regional businesses:

"By partnering with Trainor, we can offer more accessible and relevant training solutions to our customers. This collaboration allows us to combine strong digital learning with local expertise and support the growing need for certified competence in Asia-Pacific."

Apave Drives Global Safety Forward

This strategic collaboration marks another step forward in strengthening the Apave Group’s training offering in the Asia-Pacific region. To maximize this impact, Trainor plans to translate its core courses into multiple regional languages, making advanced digital safety training even more accessible to local workforces. Ultimately, this partnership represents a major stride toward fostering a safer, more compliant industrial environment, both globally and specifically across the Asia-Pacific region.
