Competence, assessed and evidenced
Training for the Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR), published by RenewableUK, and the Wind Turbine Safety System Rules (WTSSR). The WTSR core course is an accredited, standardised course. Competency development and role-based assessment are then built around your own document suite, so people are assessed on the rules they will apply.
WTSR training and competency development for defined roles, Authorisation Officer support, and independent membership of authorisation panels.

Our Training Process
From scoping to appointment
Scope the roles
We establish who needs to be competent to do what, and what the rules on your site actually require of them.

Review your rules
Competency development and assessment are built against your own document suite, so people are tested on the system they will be working to.
02
Deliver the training
On site or at a venue of your choosing, in groups small enough for detailed discussion.
03
Assess and record
Assessment against the rules being applied, with records written to hold up at an authorisation panel.

Support the appointment
We support the Authorisation Officer through appointment, and can sit on the panel as an independent member.
