Since early 2016, the entity “WindLab Promeo Greta” has been certified GWO for 4 modules : Working at height, Fire Awareness, Manual Handling, First Aid. Thanks to the work carried out by WindLab, PROMEO, GRETA, and the partners companies (about 40 companies), all the trainees are certified RSC and GWO. 93% are employed in partners companies as a maintenance technicians on wind farms and sometimes as an operating technicians. Furthermore, the platform is regularly rented by companies to train their employees (mainly on “working at height”). Since the GWO certification, the request increase on the 4 modules. However, our platform organization and our functioning don’t allow to answer all the requests.
