Newly Certified GWO Courses

In 2024, we are proudly introducing a range of cutting-edge Global Wind Organisation (GWO) courses that we are newly certified for. These courses, designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry, signify our commitment to advancing safety, expertise, and operational efficiency.

Our crowning achievement is the introduction of the Instructor Qualification Training course, following the very successful pilot that ran back in March, 2023. This course redefines the landscape of wind industry training, ensuring that instructors globally are not only experts in their fields but also equipped with the latest methodologies and best teaching and instructing practices. By playing a part in pioneering the GWO Instructor Qualification Training, it cements our position as an industry leader, contributing to the standardisation of safety training globally.

Complementing this milestone is the Basic Technical Training (BTT) Bolting certification, a course that addresses a critical aspect of turbine maintenance. Bolting procedures are fundamental to the integrity of wind turbine components, and we recognise the importance of ensuring technicians possess advanced skills in executing these operations. The BTT Bolting certification equips the trained workforce with the expertise needed to perform bolting operations with precision, enhancing the reliability and longevity of wind turbines.

Crucial to the safe and efficient operation of wind energy installations are the Crane and Hoist Basic User, and Crane and Hoist Inspection and Maintenance courses. The former imparts fundamental skills to personnel for the secure usage of lifting equipment, ensuring adherence to industry best practices. The latter addresses the meticulous inspection and maintenance requirements of cranes and hoists, mitigating potential risks and minimising downtime. Our commitment to comprehensive training in crane operations underscores its dedication to both safety and operational excellence.

We have secured accreditation for the new Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Wind Limited Access course. This course ensures a minimum viable safety standard for occasional visitors to onshore and offshore wind turbine environments, emphasizing safety protocols when under the supervision of at least two experienced GWO Basic Safety Training qualified individuals. Our commitment to this course reinforces our dedication to providing comprehensive and standardised safety training across diverse wind energy work environments.

SP-Wind's newly certified GWO courses for represent a bold step towards shaping the future of safety and proficiency in the wind industry. By playing a part in pioneering GWO Instructor Qualification Training and addressing critical areas such as bolting, crane operations, and limited access scenarios, we are not only meeting the current needs of the sector but we are actively contributing to its future success with a focus on safety, expertise, and innovation.
