At Energy Innovation we’re training professionals to meet the demands of the wind energy industry.

Everyone who will work in wind farms for a shorter or longer time will, as a general rule, be required to have the necessary GWO certification.
For onshore wind, “Basic Safety Training Onshore” is required, which consists of:
• Working at heights
• First Aid
• Fire Awareness
• Manual Action
These courses run over four 4 days or online + 2 days attendance*.

For Offshore wind, “Basic Safety Training Offshore” is required which is identical to BST Onshore plus the one-day course GWO Sea Survival (which also includes boat transfer).All of these GWO courses require recertification every two years.

For those who are only going to visit a wind turbine, you can take the GWO Wind Limited Access, which gives you access to wind turbines accompanied by 2 experienced wind technicians. However, without being able to do any work. Energy Innovation offers GWO courses and training for wind technicians in the training center in Egersund Energy Hub. We also offer courses outside in wind farms, or in ports / on development sites for offshore wind, both in Norway and in other countries.
*From March 2023 we offer parts of the BST (Basic Safety) courses online. We have developed these courses through game technology in collaboration with the Norwegian company FIDL. This will reduce the length of physical attendance at the courses, and save time / accommodation.
In addition, we offer a number of courses for the construction industry and for other industries. We can also offer tailor-made courses on request. See the course calendar.
We also offer the hire of training facilities for in-house training/exercises. Get in touch if this is of interest.
The stated price of the courses includes a hot lunch (does not apply to half-day courses), and a discount is given on hotel accommodation through collaboration with Grand Hotel Egersund.
