Why GEP
GEP experienced GWO instructors are certified Instructors by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). They ensure that in each seminar the trainees are prepared to deal with a real incident. This achievement is accomplished by strengthening trainees’ self-confidence through adequacy of knowledge, and by putting emphasis on the practical training adapted to the specific needs of the sector.
One of the main advantages of the GEP GWO First Aid training courses is the unique opportunity for the trainees to apply their knowledge in realistic simulation scenarios. High-fidelity models and conditions are used, not differing from the authentic workplace. Thus, the trainees are brought as close as possible to the real experience of providing first aid in the wind turbine installation.
GEP implements the following seminars:
- Basic Safety Training
- Basic Safety Training Refresher
- Enhanced First Aid Training
- Enhanced First Aid Refresher
