Wind Technician Training Program!

🌍 Train for a Global Career in Wind Energy

Energy Innovation AS invites motivated job seekers and career changers to join our Entry level Wind Technician Training Program. This 30-day program (6 weeks) combines the relevant theory 
and hands-on practice to prepare you for a career in the onshore and offshore wind industry.

Your Future Starts Here

Whether you’re an experienced mechanical or electrical worker — or looking to enter the renewable energy sector for the first time — this program gives you the tools, certifications, and practical know-how needed to launch your
 career as a wind technician.

Career Opportunities After Graduation

Graduates will be eligible for starting their career as entry level technicians in positions where there are no requirements for trade certificates, typically for a service provider for installation, O&M and inspections.

However – it is fair to say that the very best option for becoming a wind service technician handling electrical installation & O&M is a combination of this program, and a full trade certificate exam in electronics in the country where you plan to operate.

Energy Innovation facilitates industry connections, helping candidates’ network with employers seeking certified technicians. While we do not guarantee job placement, your job prospects are good with this qualification, especially in markets where demand is high.

Price

A full package as this program comes with a cost of Euro 10.000, including warm lunch, equipment and certification costs. Courses and education is without VAT / TAX (in Norway).
