Description

Overview Eduforce offers the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Sea Survival Training, a vital module under the Basic Safety Training (BST) standard designed for professionals working in the offshore wind energy sector. This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to safely transfer between vessels and offshore wind turbines, survive at sea in the event of an emergency, and perform basic first response actions in harsh marine environments. As an officially GWO-certified training provider, Eduforce ensures that all sea survival training is conducted with internationally recognized safety protocols, professional trainers, and realistic simulation facilities. Why Sea Survival Training is Critical Working in offshore wind energy operations comes with a unique set of challenges—unstable weather, limited access to emergency services, and high-risk marine environments. GWO Sea Survival Training equips workers to handle emergency situations such as man-overboard, vessel evacuation, hypothermia, and rescue coordination, enhancing their confidence and safety offshore. Without this certification, workers cannot access or operate in offshore wind projects worldwide. Key Features of Our Training ✅ GWO Approved Sea Survival Module Eduforce’s training strictly adheres to GWO standards and is accepted globally across offshore wind farms. ✅ Real-Life Simulation Drills We use professional-grade pools, marine safety gear, and survival equipment to replicate real offshore conditions, including low visibility, cold water, and emergency evacuations. ✅ Highly Experienced Trainers Our instructors are GWO-certified professionals with backgrounds in marine rescue, offshore operations, and emergency medical services. ✅ Internationally Recognized Certification All successful candidates receive a GWO Certificate, valid for 2 years, and registered on the WINDA platform for global verification. ✅ Safety Gear Provided Participants are trained using industry-standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including immersion suits, life jackets, and safety harnesses.
