The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is a non-profit industry association founded and owned by its members who are leading wind turbine manufacturers and renewable energy operators.
GWO’s primary mission is to create a safer and more productive workforce within the wind energy sector by setting common international standards for safety training and workforce development.
GWO’s training standards are designed to ensure that renewable energy technicians working in construction, installation, operations, and maintenance phases receive consistent and high-quality training. These standards are created by the industry, for the industry, and are widely accepted by renewable energy employers around the world.
By complying with GWO standards, certified training providers are considered competent and proficient, and any training participant with a current GWO training record is considered knowledgeable and skilled according to the learning objectives of that standard.
From 2025 we are accredited to deliver ‘GWO Blade Repair Courses’. Our training has been assessed and is of very high quality which enables our candidates to graduate with a GWO Blade Repair Qualification and enrolled on the Winda portal which gives them an opportunity to use their skills worldwide.
Wind is a multi-billion-pound sector of the renewable energy sector and many nations are introducing and improving infrastructure. This gives an exciting opportunity to use your training around the world when out of season in the U.K. The planned uptake of wind turbine operations worldwide is quite ambitious. According to the Global Wind Energy Council’s (GWEC) Global Wind Report 2024, the wind industry installed a record 117 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in 2023, marking a 50% year-on-year increase.
To meet the COP28 target of tripling renewable energy by 2030, the wind industry needs to roughly triple its annual growth from 117 GW in 2023 to at least 320 GW by 2030. The report also highlights that the wind industry is entering a new era of accelerated growth, driven by increased political ambition and national industrial policies in major economies. This growth is expected to continue through 2030 and beyond, with significant contributions from both onshore and offshore wind installations.
