GWO BASIC TECHNICAL TRAINING (BTT)
- Mechanical Module – 2 Days
- Electrical Module – 1.5 Day
- Hydraulic Module – 1 Day
WHO IS THE COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
GWO Basic Technical Training Course is aimed at people who wish to enter both the onshore and offshore renewable energy sectors. It is an excellent entry point for people who have no previous experience in Mechanical, Electrical and Hydraulic systems.
It is also ideal for those who have some knowledge in these areas or have transferable skills and wish to upskill to work in the wind turbine industry.
COURSE OVERVIEW
GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) comprises of 3 modules, Mechanical, Electrical and Hydraulics. The BTT is an entry level course that enables delegates to perform basic technical tasks in a wind turbine environment under the supervision of an experienced and qualified technician.
Please ensure you have a registered GWO WINDA I.D prior to attending the course, if you do not hold a WINDA I.D then please use the following address: https://winda.globalwindsafety.org/register/delegate/
