• What do DELTA Safety Training's trainees think of the GWO training courses?

  GWO Sea Survival: "Good training, Corona included in training package. trainer had good knowledge, many practical training in fake sea. Good lunch, location is easy accessible. Group was not too big around 7 participants." GWO First Aid: "Very good trainer. Teaches from experience and knowledge without using a slide deck. He only uses this to check whether everything has been covered. Training facility is good, good classrooms and lunch facility." GWO First Aid Refresher: "Good mix of theory and practice. Trainer had the right tone. Serious, but not too. He does expect professional attitude and attention, as he should! The hands-on exercises were also done seriously, it's not a game."

During the GWO training in Rotterdam, course participants will learn from our experienced instructors how to recognise, identify and resolve hazards and problems. For everyone who works on a ship or regularly needs to go to a platform, it is mandatory to follow a GWO training course, because without a GWO certificate you will not be admitted to your workplace. This is compulsory for both onshore and offshore work. Have you already followed the basic course, but are you ready to repeat the material dealt with? Then book our GWO refresher training courses!

• What is a GWO certificate?

  GWO stands for Global Wind Organisation. GWO is an organisation that designs and manages global standards for various wind industry training courses. During a GWO training course, students who work in the wind industry learn all sorts of things to help them do their jobs as safely as possible. The wind industry is becoming increasingly important in the Netherlands because the number of wind farms is steadily increasing. All these wind farms have to be constructed and maintained. To be able to do this, you must have completed the basic GWO course.
