The Global Wind Organisation is a non-profit body founded by wind turbine manufacturers and owners that strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures. The GWO training standards are created by the members of the organisation, reflecting the risks and hazards technicians must face on the worksite. Our GWO-certified courses ensure that participants can apply their skills and certificates working in the wind industry all over the world.

Any GWO training participant with a current record in GWO’s WINDA database is considered competent and knowledgeable according to that standard’s learning objectives. GWO members and employers accept this record as proof that the participant has the required knowledge and competences described in the standard.
