GWO Basic Technical Training V6.0
2021-04-01_BTT_V06
5 General Requirements for GWO Training
Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT), participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working on hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and installation systems, and how to control and mitigate these hazards, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the wind power industry. These training modules can be delivered independently of one another or as stand-alone training. The installation module is not part of the mandatory BTT training, and it is up to the duty holder to decide if this should be mandatory training.
5.1 Overview
The GWO Basic Technical Training is divided into the following four modules:
Hydraulic
Mechanical
Electrical
Installation
5.2 Target Group
The Basic Technical Training modules are targeted at candidates who have no previous experience of hydraulic, mechanical, electrical or installation systems, but may also be used to upskill candidates who have some knowledge but not of its application in wind turbines.
5.3 Aims and Objectives
This BTT Training shall enable participants to be able to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and installation tasks under the supervision of an experienced technician. This course will not make the participant a trained person who is allowed to perform hydraulic, mechanical, electrical or installation work without supervision.
5.4 Duration of BTT Modules
The total contact time for completing the stand-alone modules in this basic technical training standard is estimated to be 32 hours . This is based on the time estimates given in the module timetables and summarised in table 5-41 & 5-42 below.
The training provider must not exceed the times per day given in table 5-7 below.
