A valid GWO Working at Height (Refresher) certificate
Our GWO Working at Heights Refresher (E-learning + Practical) is designed for professionals in the wind industry who already hold a valid GWO Working at Height certificate. This one-day refresher course focuses entirely on practical exercises at our training center, ensuring participants maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to work safely at height. There is no E-learning or theory component, making this refresher ideal for those seeking hands-on, scenario-based training.
By completing this refresher, participants contribute to a safer working environment across the wind sector. The course covers the latest legislation, safe systems of work, and emergency procedures, with a strong emphasis on real-world application. Certification from this course remains valid for two years, after which renewal is required to continue working at height in compliance with Global Wind Organisation standards.
For those interested in additional safety training, we also offer the GWO Basic Safety Training which combines GWO Working at Height E-learning with other modules such as GWO First Aid Refresher, GWO Sea Survival E-learning Refresher, GWO Manual Handling E-learning Refresher and GWO Fire Awareness E-learning Refresher. If you are looking for a comprehensive online introduction, you can also explore our online GWO Basics.
How can we improve it?
To maintain the original certification date, acertificate or training record can be renewed up to two months prior to expiry. It is still possible to join a refresher outside of the two months of expiry. In this case, the certificate must carry the new date of certification. A participant is only allowed to attend a refresher in the specific training module prior to the date of expiry on the current certificate or training records. The validity period is automatically calculated in WINDA by entering the completion date.
