The GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) standard came into effect on March 31, 2018 and replaced many of the GWO members’ own training courses either fully or partially.
GWO BTT is an entry level course that enables delegates to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical and electrical tasks in a wind turbine environment under the supervision of an experienced technician.
You must be registered on Winda prior to attending a GWO course.
