GWO Basic Technical Training 4 Modules PACKAGE

The BTT 4 Modules Package is a combined training program that includes four GWO Basic Technical Training modules: Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic and Bolt Tightening. The aim of this package is to provide participants with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to perform basic technical tasks on wind turbines. Training follows the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) standard and prepares participants to work safely and effectively under supervision, using correct procedures, tools and PPE.

Target Audience

This package is intended for individuals with no previous experience in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic systems or energy powered bolt tightening, as well as those wishing to upskill and apply their knowledge specifically in the wind energy sector.

Prerequisites

All participants who attend a GWO Training course must create a profile in WINDA in order to get a WINDA ID which they must supply to the Training Provider prior to completing the training. https://winda.globalwindsafety.org

All personnel participating in this training shall be medically fit and capable of fully participating.
Participants’ signatures testifying to their medical fitness will be collected prior to the start of the module.
