Course description

An intensive training programme with a strong emphasis on practical skills. It comprises 5 modules in a refresher format:

  1. Sea Survival Refresher (Survival at sea – pool exercises),
  2. Working at Heights Refresher,
  3. First Aid Refresher,
  4. Fire Awareness Refresher (Fire safety),
  5. Manual Handling Refresher (Manual handling).

Duration

The course lasts 22 hours. It is shorter than the basic version as the theoretical basics are omitted in favour of practical training.

Prerequisites

  • Possession of a valid WINDA ID numer,
  • At least 18 years of age,
  • Valid (not expired) GWO BST Offshore certificates (or previous Refresher courses),
  • Good physical condition (re-training in water and evacuation from height).

Outcomes upon completion

The participant confirms their ability to transfer safely between a vessel and a turbine, to survive in the water whilst awaiting rescue, and to carry out rescue operations at height in offshore conditions.

Certificate validity

The certificate is valid for 24 months (2 years). To maintain certification, a refresher course must be completed within the last 2 months prior to the expiry date of the current certificate.

Information regarding the completed training will be recorded in the international GWO WINDA database. The digital record enables authorised employers to instantly verify the holder’s qualifications. For the participant, this means easy confirmation of competence worldwide without the need for paper documents.

What to bring

  • Valid ID card or passport,
  • Swimwear/tight-fitting swimming trunks and flip-flops (for the pool module),
  • Towel and toiletries,
  • Comfortable sports/work clothes to wear under the wetsuits,
  • A clean change of shoes for indoor exercises.

We have a specialist training ground where participants practise realistic scenarios, including firefighting operations on PCTC vessels, RO-RO vessels and ferries, as well as hazards associated with electric vehicle fires.

We were the first in Poland to introduce GWO High Voltage courses

We made competencies available in Poland that previously required training abroad, reducing the time companies need to prepare teams for onshore and offshore projects.

We manage the entire process, from agreeing a suitable date and arranging transport and accommodation to delivering the training and preparing complete documentation. We also provide end-to-end support for groups and teams travelling from abroad.

Realistic, modern training infrastructure

We train participants using specialist equipment, full-scale structures, training towers, simulators and a pool, so they can practise procedures rather than simply hear about them.

    Modern equipment, no nonsense

    The working at heights course is mainly practical: equipment, fall protection and emergency scenarios. Everything was well organised, the instructors were direct and clear, and the equipment was modern. No nonsense.
