What is WINDA?
WINDA is the global Wind Industry Training Records Database launched by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO).
The purpose of this database is to verify the certification status of GWO training providers and the training status of delegates who have attended GWO training courses.
Delegates will be able to access personal verified information on the status and validity of training courses completed. Employers can also see what certified training courses delegates have completed by searching for their WINDA ID.
Why is WINDA important?
WINDA will be where all of your certified training is recorded.
You will need to provide your individual WINDA ID to your training provider before attending your training.
All of your certified training will be recorded against your individual WINDA ID number so you and your employers can verify the training.
What if I don't have a WINDA ID?
If you do not have a WINDA ID, your certificate will not be GWO certified and will not be recognised within the GWO WINDA database. This means employers won’t be able to find you within the database and won’t be able to verify your training.
What happens to my previous GWO certified training?
Any training completed prior to 17th October 2016 will not be input into the WINDA database. You will need to have the original copy of your certificate as proof of training.
