6 Day Course
Our GWO Basic Technical Training gives you the skills needed to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, bolt tightening and installation tasks. To view available dates and book online, please visit our course calendar here at www.aslsafety.com/training
Who Should Attend?
The Basic Technical Training modules are targeted at candidates who have no previous experience of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or installation systems, working with energy powered bolt tightening, or working with hazardous energies but may also be used to upskill candidates who have some knowledge but not of its application in wind turbines.
BTT Bolt Tightening and BTT Installation modules provide training relevant to specific work activities and roles. BTT Hazardous Energies Basic Safety training is relevant to work where hazardous energies are found. The training required for different wind industry work roles varies and it is up to the duty holder to determine which modules should be mandatory training required for their workplace.
Candidate Requirements:
All personnel participating must meet the participant prerequisites described in the GWO Requirements for Training. Any additional prerequisites for specific BTT modules or for combined module delivery options are detailed in the table below. Before attending participants must complete any prerequisites indicated.
You Must register or have registered for a personal WINDA profile before arriving for the course:

Learning Outcomes (Aims & Objectives)
This Basic Technical Training prepares participants for further company specific training by providing them with the necessary training to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, bolt tightening and installation tasks.
When technical work takes place within the wind turbine and the environment of a wind farm, hazardous energies are found in various forms posing a risk of injury to all workers.
The Hazardous Energies Basic Safety module has been developed as a basic training on the risks related to hazardous energies in the wind industry to prepare workers to act safely when in the vicinity of hazardous energies or when working on systems and equipment containing hazardous energies.
These courses will not make the participant a trained person who is allowed to perform hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, bolt tightening or installation work without supervision.
Certification
Upon completion of the GWO BTT course, participants will receive: GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) Digital Certificate, registered in the WINDA database.
This certification has no expiry date, meaning technicians can use their skills throughout their career without renewal requirements.
