Wind energy safety training

In some courses, a knowledge-based final exam or test is conducted at the end to obtain certification and ensure that the skills learnt can be applied with confidence. However, in many courses, assessment is continuous during delivery, with the trainer individually assessing progress and the application of what has been learnt. Our trainers take the time to cater to the needs of participants and offer review sessions to ensure everyone is optimally trained.

To participate, you will need a valid photo ID (identity card, driving licence or passport), which will be checked at the start of the course. This is required for the confirmation of participation and the issuing of the certificate. If you have personal protective equipment (PPE), bring it with you so that you can test it directly during the training. If you do not have any PPE, we will provide you with the necessary equipment. A valid WINDA ID is also required for GWO courses. If you have a safety pass, please bring it with you - otherwise we will be happy to issue one for you.

Everything you would bring for a visit to the swimming pool: Swimwear, bathing shoes, towel and shower utensils. Separate showers and changing rooms are available in our water training centre. The necessary equipment, such as a survival suit, life jacket and nose clip, is available on loan from us.

Yes, using your own PPE or PPEgA offers you the ideal opportunity to test their functionality in realistic hazardous situations. We are also happy to provide you with the necessary equipment. We always use rental equipment for training in the water.

The WINDA ID is a prerequisite for participation in GWO-certified courses. You can obtain this by registering in the WINDA system. We cannot issue certificates without a valid WINDA ID.

On the day of the course, you should be physically fit and arrive on time. You will also need a valid photo ID (identity card, driving licence or passport), which will be checked at the start of the course to confirm your attendance and issue the certificate.

The duration of the training varies depending on the course. Individual training courses last between half a day and two days to ensure that the content is conveyed. For special requirements, we also offer customised training courses that can last up to five days.

Our training groups are kept small to ensure intensive support. The number of participants is between three and a maximum of twelve, which enables practical exercises and effective knowledge transfer. This ensures individualised participant support.

Our Shipyard Guesthouse, located directly at the training centre, is ideal for you as a course participant. The 27 comfortable rooms offer free Wi-Fi, and digital check-in allows flexible arrival times. Enjoy your breakfast in our in-house canteen and benefit from the generous parking facilities.

Yes, take the opportunity to have your PPE checked directly on site by our experienced team. We will check your PPE, lifejackets, survival suits and other equipment. If there are any defects, we will provide replacements or hire equipment so that you are ready for use again immediately.
