4. INTRODUCTION
Global Wind Organisation is a non-profit body founded by the wind turbine manufacturers and owners. Our members strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures. Central to our governance is the global training records database, WINDA, which enables training partners, operators and individuals to verify training, and provides industry-wide transparency regarding the training status of personnel.
This document constitutes version 15 of the Requirements for Training. This document states the requirements for training providers to deliver training to GWO Modules and Frameworks.
It is intended for use by prospective and existing certified GWO training providers and defines acceptable conditions and prerequisites for safety and technical training within the renewable energy industry.
Until 30th September 2025, version 14 remains valid. However, version 15 may be used at the discretion of the certification body from the date of approval, if agreed with the training provider.
An important note on GWO Training: GWO training standards use a generic approach to training to avoid the potential need for additional training upon completion of the GWO modules which may be required by the duty holder e.g. prior to site or work. It is always the responsibility of the duty holder to determine if a GWO training course is sufficient in relation to the tasks, risks, and hazards they expose a GWO trained person to, or if additional training is required. 5. THE CERTIFICATION PROCESSES The training provider must have a formally documented management system for assuring the quality, content and safety of training and assessment, and compliance with the GWO requirements and modules The training provider must have an explicit policy for implementing and maintaining the validity of GWO modules, which must be signed by the legal duty holder. The policy must state which modules the training provider is certified to deliver
