Requirements for Certification / V14 2025-04-01
Instructor Candidate
A person undergoing the instructor qualification process to qualify as a GWO instructor.
Internal audit The audit that is performed when the audit team belongs to the same organization that is being audited.
Investigation To collect information through inspection and the gathering of documents.
Major Non- conformity
A non-conformity that affects the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results. If there is a significant doubt that the effective process control is in place, or that the staff, equipment, or facilities will meet the specified requirements, then this includes legal requirements. A number of minor non-conformities associated with the same requirement or issue could demonstrate a systemic failure and thus constitute a major non-conformity.
May
Indicates a permission.
Minor Non- conformity
A non-conformity that on its own does not affect the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results.
Mock training Option for training provider and auditor to carry out assessment of training delivery during a training session organised for this sole purpose. During the audit for mock training, the auditor shall be able to ask the training provider to demonstrate any of the theoretical and practical learning elements from the module as part of the audit, keeping in line with the requirements for the man-day estimation table for practical training. This may be performed in the form of sampling. Elements should not be agreed in advance.
Module
Describes the training content that is to be delivered and assessed during GWO training. Modules include lessons, elements, and learning objectives. Each module has a WINDA training record associated with it.
For clarity where the word “must” is used in this standard it shall have the same meaning as “shall”.
Must

An organisation’s non-fulfilment of a requirement
Observing
