The GWO Basic Safety Training Onshore Refresher is designed for wind energy professionals who need to renew their safety qualifications before they expire. By completing this combined refresher programme, you update four GWO certificates in a single, efficient training rather than attending separate renewal courses for each module.
The training revisits the practical skills that form the foundation of safe onshore wind turbine operations. You will refresh your first aid response techniques, practise working safely at height using personal protective equipment, review fire prevention and suppression procedures, and update your knowledge of safe manual handling principles to prevent musculoskeletal injuries on the job.
Upon successful completion, you receive four renewed GWO refresher certificates, each valid for two years. The course is delivered in English at the training facility. If you prefer a blended format, the available e-learning component reduces on-site attendance from 2.5 days to 2 days while covering the same theoretical content.

Completing this course results in four renewed GWO refresher certificates, each valid for two years.
Anyone working in onshore wind energy who holds GWO Basic Safety Training Onshore certificates and needs to renew them before expiry should take this course.

Yes. A blended learning option is available that combines e-learning with on-site practical training. By completing the theoretical component online in advance, you reduce your on-site attendance from 2.5 days to 2 days. The e-learning covers the same knowledge areas and leads to the same four GWO refresher certificates as the fully classroom-based format.
The modules are offered here as a combined programme for efficiency and convenience. Taking all four together in a single 2.5-day course is generally the most practical and cost-effective option for professionals who need to renew all their GWO Basic Safety Training Onshore qualifications at the same time.
