GWO BTT – Mechanical (BTTM)

This GWO BTT Mechanical Module will give you the knowledge and skills to carry out basic mechanical tasks (supervised by an experienced technician), using safe working procedures and the correct PPE. You will learn an overview of mechanical systems, the principle workings of wind turbines, and associated safety principles. This module is targeted at those who have no previous experience of hydraulic, mechanical, electrical or installation systems, but may also be used to up skill those with existing knowledge but not of its application in wind turbines. This course is relevant for those working both on and offshore in wind energy operations.
