GWO (Global Wind Organisation) was established in 2012 by several wind turbine manufacturers and operators. It is intended to provide a safe and productive working environment for wind turbine management.

Available modules
BST (Basic Safety Training) 5 modules
The purpose of Basic Safety Training (BST) as defined by the International Wind Organization (GWO) is to recognize how to control and mitigate hazards encountered when working inside wind turbines. It also provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency, and to learn the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency equipment to enhance safety.The EES Training Center employs actual wind turbine equipment in practical exercises, making the training realistic and easy for participants to visualize their respective workplaces.

ART (Advanced Rescue Training) 2 modules
*The GWO training manual was revised in September 2026, and parts of the course structure have changed.
*Single Rescue has been integrated into ART-H and ART-N respectively.
*For future Refresher training, BST MH and WAH will not be renewed through this course.
This course enables participants to perform rescue operations from a wind turbine hub, spinner, inside a blade, nacelle, tower and confined spaces using standard industry rescue equipment, methods and techniques. It provides rescue training beyond GWO BST Working at Heights. At the EES Training Center, hands-on exercises use an actual wind turbine, helping participants visualize their own worksites and experience realistic training. Advice can also be provided for different turbine types. In particular, participants can learn what is required for rescue operations and the level of skills needed in offshore wind turbine environments, which are expected to expand in the future.
[Prerequisites]
Participants must have completed GWO BST FA, MH and WAH. Those who have not completed these modules cannot take ART.
This course includes extensive practical exercises and requires physical effort, including carrying a 60 kg rescue dummy and moving in confined spaces.
First training (3 days)
- Rescue from hub, spinner & inside blade: ART-H
- Rescue from nacelle, tower & basement: ART-N
Refresher training (2 days)
- Rescue from hub, spinner & inside blade: ART-HR
- Rescue from nacelle, tower & basement: ART-NR

BTT (Basic Technical Training) 4 modules
*Construction: Installation is not provided
The objective of the GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) is to help participants acquire knowledge on avoidance, control and mitigation of hazards in mechanical, bolt tightening, electrical and hydraulic work at offshore and onshore wind farms, and through the guidance of skilled workers they can also gain knowledge and skills on basic operations, safe work procedures and the use of protective equipment.
*This training is not intended to train participants to work independently (in situations where they are not supervised).
The EES Training Center introduces actual wind turbines for practical training, making it easy for participants to visualize their respective workplaces and feel a sense of reality in their training.

EFA (Enhanced First Aid) 2 modules
*Students will receive training that includes elements of BST and FA.
EFA helps students develop more practical first aid knowledge, skills, and ways to act so they can support and treat people working in the windmill industry. Upon completion, students will have been trained to be able to use advanced emergency equipment and telemedicine to provide safe and effective first aid and advanced first aid to save lives and provide support remotely. (From GWO Training Standards)
At the EES Training Center, actual wind turbines are used to make the training experience more realistic and high-quality.
*During training, students will also learn about things that fall under "medical practices" that are prohibited from being practiced by the general public in Japan. It does not allow any student to practice medicine.

SLS (Slinger Signaller) Individual module
In addition, students will be trained so they can support and treat themselves and other workers. It will also help ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills, and competence to perform the tasks assigned to them safely and efficiently while signaling for slinging and crane operations in the wind industry.
*Completing this training course does not mean that students have completed the "Slinging Skills Training Course."
