4 S COPE
This Standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognizable enhanced first aid (EFA) training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics pertaining to the installation, service, and maintenance of wind turbine generators and wind power plants. This Standard describes the requirements for enhanced first aid training that are recommended by the members of GWO. The members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognize trained persons as competent within EFA in the wind industry. GWO accepts the trained person as possessing the required knowledge, skills and attitude to provide ongoing care to an ill or injured casualty over a short period of time while waiting for professional emergency rescue teams to arrive.

5 G ENERAL R EQUIREMENT TO GWO E NHANCED F IRST A ID
The Enhanced First Aid offers two options to attend the training - see below figure 5-1. New technicians can enter via the main EFA training which consists of Basic First Aid (FA) and EFA elements and two certificates FA and EFA will be issued. If you already have a GWO Basic First Aid (or refresher) FA (or FAR) certificate, you have the option of taking the Refresher First Aid (FAR) combined with EFA training elements and you will also receive two certificates, FAR and EFA, after successful completion of the training.
Course Participants (Delegates) can join the main EFA training without prior basic FA training
The Enhanced training EFA or EFAR includes all elements of the FA(R) training module
At the end of the training the Course Participants (Delegates) receive both a FA(R) and EFA(R) certificate
5.1 Target group
Figure 5-1 – Chart of EFA Process
Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields, and who will have duties to fulfil in a wind turbine environment, as well as usually being in physical contact with a wind farm environment or an offshore wind structure make up the target group. Personnel that are selected by their employer to perform Enhanced First Aid onshore or offshore, where training according to the GWO Enhanced First Aid training may enable them to react to incidents and thus mitigate the results of casualties deriving from the identified risks. The Annex 3 - EFA Guideline: Recommendations has been developed to assist employers in determining who and how many should take the training.
5.2 Aims and strategic objectives
The EFA Training shall enable Course Participants (Delegates) to support and care for others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge, skills and attitude of Enhanced First Aid.

7 U NDERSTAND GWO L EARNING O BJECTIVES
The described learning objectives (expected learning outcome) are the foundation of the course contents and what the Course Participant (Delegate) performance assessment must be based upon. Traditionally learning objectives are prepared within three different domains of learning – knowledge, skills and attitude. A learning objective describes the expected learning outcome on completion of a module or a course, within one or more learning domains. If a learning objective is related to more than one domain of learning, e.g. to knowledge and skills, one learning objective per learning domain is often prepared – to enable a better understanding of the learning objective. The GWO Training Provider may apply teaching methods (didactics) that are appropriate to the course participants prior training, education and cultural backgrounds, but should always aim to provide course participants ample possibility to perform hands-on demonstrations and learning reflection.
7.1 Taxonomy
To formulate a measurable learning objective, taxonomy is used to describe the level of expected learning outcome within a learning domain. As an example belonging to the learning domain of knowledge, to have a Course Participant (Delegate) name or recognize something, as opposed to having him explain it in his own words, or even apply or demonstrate what he has learned – describes different performance levels, i.e. different taxonomy levels.
Different taxonomies are associated with different learning domains, for instance:
Knowledge : such as Bloom’s “cognitive taxonomy”
Intellectual knowledge, mental skills and procedures
Skills: such as Simpson’s “psychomotor taxonomy”
Physical skills, cognitive controlled and observable
Attitude: such as Krathwohl’s “affective taxonomy”
Attitude and feelings to the learning
Selecting a suitable taxonomy level, an action verb expresses the expected behaviour of the Course Participant (Delegate), thus describing the taxonomy level of a learning objective. Action verbs are usually highlighted in bold in this standard. The table below presents the three learning domains with taxonomy level 1-3, provided with associated action verbs applicable in the learning objective wording, defining the taxonomy level. In the GWO training standard, the learning objectives are in general described as level 2 or 3.

8 A DMINISTRATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ENHANCED FIRST AID
MODULES
8.1 Course Participant (Delegate) performance assessment
Course Participants (Delegates) will be assessed by means of direct observation and supplementary oral questions where appropriate (formative evaluation). Throughout the entire course the instructor will enforce the Course Participant (Delegate) Assessment Form (see Requirements for Training Providers) and adhere to it, accordingly, with a high focus on evaluating the Course Participant’s (Delegate’s) practical skills. The Trainer keeps a Course Participant (Delegate) Assessment Form (or adaptation) for each Course Participant (Delegate) until the completion / evaluation of the EFA Module. The Course Participant (Delegate) Assessment Form (or adaption) is a final evaluation tool for the instructors to assess Course Participants (Delegates) during practical elements. It allows measurement of the number of violations in regard to safety, competency, or attitude. It shall be used as a progressive evaluation tool to discuss the performance of a Course Participant (Delegate) in guiding them to success and it also serves as supporting documentation if a Course Participant (Delegate) passes or fails the Module. If a Course Participant (Delegate) fails to meet the demands of the EFA module, they shall attend a new EFA Module. Training Provider may adapt the Course Participant (Delegate) Assessment Form to other media. Training Providers shall have a documented procedure in place for dealing with Course Participants (Delegates) not meeting the stated learning outcomes.
