GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) Mechanical course is yet another course intended for existing or potential Wind Turbine Technicians seeking proficiency in the mechanical aspects of a wind turbine generator. By the end of the two-day training, candidates will be proficient in the main components, mechanical systems, and operations of wind turbines. They will also be taught cooling and lubrication systems as well as manual tightening and measuring of tools and the use of devices like hydraulic torque wrenches and tension tools.
Trainees wishing to enter this course should be medically fit and capable of fully participating.
Participation in a course according to the GWO standards requires a special identification number for each participant. Each person must have this so-called “WINDA identification number (WINDA-ID)”.
Please register yourself or your employees with the Global Wind Organisation and provide us with your WINDA-ID or enter it directly when registering in our training portal. Registering for your WINDA-ID is very simple and only requires you to enter your name.
