GWO BASIC TECHNICAL TRAINING (BTT)
The GWO Basic Technical Training is designed to provide wind industry technicians with the fundamental technical knowledge and practical skills required to begin working with mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and installation systems in wind turbines.
The training is suitable for participants with no previous technical experience, as well as technicians who already have some general knowledge but need to understand how these systems are applied within the wind industry. Through a combination of theoretical instruction, practical exercises and realistic technical tasks, participants become familiar with wind turbine components, safe working procedures, technical documentation and the correct use of tools and equipment.
The BTT modules prepare participants for further company-specific and turbine-specific training. They provide the foundation needed to carry out basic technical tasks under the supervision of an experienced technician. Completion of a BTT module does not, by itself, authorise a participant to perform technical work independently.
The GWO Basic Technical Training Standard is divided into seven specialised modules. Each module can be completed separately, while certain modules may also be delivered together as part of a combined training programme. BTT training records are enduring qualifications and do not have a standard expiry date.
HEBS
BTT Hazardous Energies Basic Safety
Introduces the risks associated with electrical, mechanical and pressure-fluid energy. Participants learn the basic principles of hazardous energy control, Lockout-Tagout, safe behaviour around isolated systems and how to respond appropriately to hazardous energy situations.
BTTI-E
BTT Installation Electrical
Provides an introduction to the electrical activities performed during wind turbine installation. The module covers component preparation, cable handling and connection, electrical completion, hydraulic completion, external generators and preparation for handover to commissioning.
