Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT), participants will understand the hazards associated with hydraulic, mechanical, electrical work and energy-powered bolt tightening, and how to control and mitigate these hazards—preparing them for work in the wind industry onshore and offshore. The BTT modules can be delivered individually or combined as a full programme.
Course Content
The GWO Basic Technical Training is divided into the following 4 modules:
- Module 1: Mechanical
- Module 2: Electrical
- Module 3: Hydraulic
- Module 4: Bolt Tightening
Validity Period
The Basic Technical Training is an enduring qualification, so a validity period does not apply to this training. A maximum interval between successful completion of the BTT Hydraulic, Mechanical, Electrical, and Bolt Tightening modules does not apply. This is based on the expectation that the participant is actively working in a wind turbine environment. If there is an extended period of absence from applying the skills, retraining and recertification may be required according to national legislation and company policy.
