Educational Requirements

Certifications & requirements outline

Many jobs in offshore wind located offshore or are infrequent visitors of the farm need a certain level of GWO training. If your job does not visit wind farms then you don't need any level of GWO certification.

GWO Basic Technical Training Standard

Upon completion of the Global Wind Organization (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT), participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working on hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and installation systems, and how to control and mitigate these hazards, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the wind power industry. These training modules can be delivered independently of one another or as stand-alone training. The installation module is not part of the mandatory BTT training, and it is up to the duty holder to decide if this should be mandatory training. Technicians with existing training from GWO member companies can have their skills merit assessed and where appropriate can be offered gap training to fill in any of the missed learning objectives.
