The training focuses on the practical aspects of working on a wind farm construction site. The programme covers:
- Logistics and storage: Rules for the safe storage and transport of components,
- Lifting operations: Preparing components for crane work,
- Assembly of main components: Pre-assembly and correct installation of tower sections, nacelles and blades,
- Joining techniques: Advanced methods of tightening bolted joints (bolt tensioning/torquing),
- Waste management: Handling of chemicals and consumables during assembly.
Able to identify hazards specific to the mechanical installation process, operate professional turbine assembly tools (including hydraulic wrenches), carry out pre- and post-assembly inspections of components, and work in accordance with technical documentation and checklists.
The certificate does not expire (it is valid indefinitely). GWO recognises that once acquired, technical fundamentals remain valid unless standards change drastically.
Information about 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.
