GWO
Working at Height Refresher
E-learning + Practical

GWO stands for ‘Global Wind Organisation’. It is a non-profit organisation and has provided the Basic Safety Training standards for the wind industry since 2012.

To maintain the original certification date, a certificate or training record can be renewed up to two months prior to expiry. It is still possible to join a refresher course 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 course 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 course completion date.

Throughout this course, the delegate will be taught about the dangers of working at heights, the safety legislation surrounding this type of work, how to check whether protective gear and equipment is functioning properly and much more. The GWO Working at Height Refresher e-learning Course is also part of the GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher e-learning.

The GWO Working at Height Refresher E-learning course only consists of a practical part. During the practical part exercises are done at our training facility.

WINDA is the name of the Global Wind Industry Training Records Database. It maintains data on the certification status of GWO Certified Training Providers as well as the status of delegates that have attended courses. The delegate is required to create an account for WINDA, as a sticker and registration are added in WINDA upon succesful completion of a course.

The employer also has the option of creating an account, allowing them to verify the training status of their (potential) employees.

GWO courses do not require an examination.

When a physical examination is required, this can be noted on the same booking form. If the course has already been booked, you can send an e-mail or call us to let us know.

The GWO Working at Height Refresher E-learning course does not have an e-learning part. The refresher course is already without theory. You just have to do the practical exercises at the training center.

The practical exercises will be done at the training center in just 1,5 hour!
