What can you complain about?

GWO can only consider complaints regarding issues within its own scope. That includes complaints about:

  • training where safety is compromised
  • deviation from training standards
  • non-compliance with the Requirements for Training
  • non-compliance with the Requirements for Certification
  • violation of the GWO Code of Conduct

GWO will not investigate complaints which fall outside the scope of the GWO mandate. This includes complaints relating to employment, commercial transactions, or other contractual relationships between private parties.
