Technical Training by West Africa Competence Institute

West Africa Competence Institute (WACI) is a technical training center based in Accra that provides professional training for engineers, technicians, and supervisors working in industrial environments. The institute specializes in hazardous area (ATEX/CompEx) competence, electrical installation, inspection, maintenance, and low-voltage safety training for sectors such as oil & gas, mining, and manufacturing. WACI’s programs are designed to improve workforce competence, safety, and compliance when working with electrical systems and equipment in potentially explosive or high-risk environments.

Training in hazardous areas and electrical safety is critical because industrial environments containing flammable gases or dust require specialized knowledge and standards to prevent fires and explosions.
