GWO Requirements for Training Providers
7.2.6
A course participant may attend a refresher course in the specific training module prior to the date of expiry on the current certificate or training record. If a training record is refreshed within the two months prior to expiry of the previous training, its new validity will begin from the previous certificate’s ‘valid until date’ in WINDA. If a certificate or training record is refreshed more than two months before expiry, it will carry the training completion date as the ‘valid from date’. If a certificate or training record has expired, the course participant must attend the full initial training module(s) to obtain a new training record. A certified training provider may undergo an audit during a pilot training. Pilot trainings refers to delivering a new training standard which is not publicly available yet and which GWO plans to formally release to the market soon. However, a certificate cannot be issued by the certification body until the training standard has been released by GWO. If there are any changes to the standard between the pilot and the release of the standard, the training provider must demonstrate to the auditor how they have implemented and mitigated these changes before the certificate can be issued. Participants at this training may only have their WINDA records uploaded after this has occurred. Training providers must attain prior consent from participants at pilot trainings that their WINDA records may be delayed until these dependencies being resolved. New training providers undertaking initial (stage 2) certification may upload training records to WINDA for successful participants from the audited training with the following dependencies. First; training providers must attain prior consent from participants that their WINDA records upload may be delayed pending dependencies being resolved Secondly, upload is only possible after certification (assuming there are no major non-conformances) is approved by GWO. In this case the records are exempted from the requirement to upload within 10 days of completion. Instead, the records upload requirement is modified to be 10 days from the date dependencies are resolved. WINDA records for participants undertaking a pilot training which is also audited may be uploaded when the training standard has been released by GWO. In this case the records are exempted from the requirement to upload within 10 days from completion. Instead, the records upload requirement is modified to be 10 days from the date dependencies are resolved. If there are changes to the standard between the pilot and the release of the standard, the training provider must demonstrate to the auditor how they have implemented and mitigated these changes in participants’ training before participant WINDA records may be uploaded. Training providers may, in addition to the requirement for uploading a training record to WINDA, issue other additional proof of training, e.g. paper certificates or plastic cards. If the training provider chooses to do so, this must include the course participant’s WINDA ID and name as written in their passport or other official documentation. Training records must be uploaded by the holder of the WINDA registration (i.e. training provider organisation) under which the training was delivered.
