GWO Basic Technical Training
The GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) is for candidates who have no previous experience of Hydraulic, Mechanical, or Electrical Systems but may also be used to upskill candidates who know these areas in other spheres, not specifically Wind Turbines. Upon completion of the complete GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT), delegates will possess an awareness of Hydraulic, Mechanical, and Electrical Systems, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the Wind Industry.
Course Content: The GWO BTT course comprises of three different modules: Mechanical, Hydraulic, and Electrical. You can take all modules independently or in any order you wish. It is, however, highly recommended that you take the Mechanical Module as the first module. The training is a mix of theory and practical exercises. Each module contains a written test which must be passed with at least 70% correct answers to pass the module.
Admission Requirements: There are no prerequisites for this training, however, some practical Mechanical or Electrical Maintenance background would be useful.
Duration: 4 – 5 days
Validity: The GWO BTT Modules are enduring qualifications, and therefore a validity period does not apply to these modules. This is based on the assumption that the delegate is actively working in a Wind Turbine Environment. If there is an extended period of absence from applying the skills, retraining and recertification may be required, according to National Legislation and Company Policy.
Course Objectives: The GWO BTT aims to give the delegates the knowledge and skills to carry out basic Mechanical, Electrical, and Hydraulic Tasks, while supervised by an experienced technician, using safe working procedures and the correct PPE. This course will not make the delegate a trained person allowed to perform Hydraulic, Mechanical, or Electrical Work without supervision.
The Basic Maintenance Training modules are for candidates who have no previous experience of Hydraulic, Mechanical, or Electrical Systems but may also be used to upskill candidates who know these areas in other spheres, not specifically Wind Turbines. Upon completion of the full GWO BTT, delegates will possess an awareness of Hydraulic, Mechanical, and Electrical Systems, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the Wind Power Industry.
Course Content: The GWO BTT Electrical Module is one out of three standalone qualifications that, together, form the complete GWO BTT. You can take all BTT Modules independently or in any order you wish. It is, however, highly recommended that you take the Mechanical Module as the first module. The content of the BTT Electrical Module is:
- Introduction to Electricity.
- Electrical Safety.
- Electrical Components.
- Electrical Circuits.
- Electrical Measuring Instruments.
- Theoretical Test.
Admission Requirements: There are no prerequisites for this module, but some practical Mechanical or Electrical Maintenance background would be useful.
Duration: 1.5 days
Course Objectives: The BTT Electrical Module aims to give the delegates the knowledge and skills to carry out basic Electrical Tasks (supervised by an experienced technician) using safe working procedures and the correct PPE. The BTT Electrical Module shall ensure delegates can:
- Explain the basics of electricity.
- Explain risks and hazards associated with Electrical Work.
- Explain the function and symbol of Electrical Components.
- Explain the function of different types of Sensors.
- Explain and interpret a simple Electrical Diagram and demonstrate how to assemble it on a circuit.
- Demonstrate how to make correct and safe measurements.
- Sensors used in a WTG and their position and function.
At least 70% of the questions in the written test must be answered correctly to pass the test.
