You will attend our North Wales training center, where you will complete your academic qualifications: 1. NVQ level 3 in wind turbine operations and maintenance + 2. Level 3 diploma in wind turbine maintenance What existing attributes do you need? 5 GCSE’s (or equivalent) at 4/C or above including Science, Maths and English.
Becoming a Wind Turbine Service Technician typically requires a Level 2 or 3 qualification in a relevant field like mechanical or electrical engineering as well as industry recognised safety and technical training delivered by an accredited Global Wind Organisation (GWO) training provider.
Professional certifications and ongoing learning are vital for wind turbine technicians. Securing industry-recognized certifications, like GWO Basic Safety Training, is crucial. These certifications demonstrate a technician’s proficiency and adherence to global safety standards. The wind energy field is constantly evolving.
It might give you an advantage if your course includes the opportunity to get work experience through summer internships or a year in industry. You could do a college course, which could help you to get a trainee job with a wind turbine engineering company. You could apply to do an Engineering Technician Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship.
Mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering courses are highly relevant and can give you a good understanding of the type of work you would be performing as a wind turbine technician. There are many courses available including NC, NQ, HNC or HND accreditation in a related engineering field.
