Everyone taking a GWO training course must first create a profile in WINDA to receive a WINDA ID. The WINDA ID must be given to the training provider before completing the training so they can to create your training record
Participants must create a profile in WINDA to receive a WINDA ID. A WINDA ID is a unique, random and system generated number which serves as the main participant identification. The process is automated and instantaneous and the same WINDA ID follows you through your career in the wind industry. It is therefore important that you always keep your WINDA profile up to date and supply employers and training providers with your ID when requested.
You may only create one profile in WINDA. Multiple profiles for one participant causes confusion and your profile may be closed without warning by GWO. You can view your own training records in WINDA and print a copy of them. The printed copy is not valid as a certificate but it can provide your employer with the WINDA ID and so confirm your details. You are also able to search for other participant's training records if they have provided you with their WINDA ID.
When you have successfully completed a GWO training course, your training provider will upload the record of the completed course into WINDA. Always remember to bring government issued ID such as a driver's license or passport as well as your WINDA ID when attending a training course.
You need to sign in or register as a participant at winda.globalwindsafety.org via the “Register” option. Choose to be registered in WINDA as a participant and fill out the required information.
Once you have submitted your details, you will automatically be sent an e-mail requesting you to set up the account.
If you are not active on your profile for 48 months, the profile will expire. Owners will automatically be notified by email when either records are about to expire or when the profile is about to expire. Please log in to your profile on a regular basis to avoid expiry. GWO will not be able to reactivate expired profiles and all historical data will be lost.
Please note – you will need to confirm acceptance of privacy notice and applicable Terms & Conditions for access and use of WINDA before the profile can be fully set up and upload of records are allowed.
