INTRODUCING A WORLD LEADING TRAINING PARTNERSHIP

In an era where renewable energy is rapidly expanding, workforce training has never been more crucial. Ensuring that technicians are not only compliant with safety standards but also highly skilled and field-ready is key to maintaining efficiency, safety, and long-term industry success. That’s why the partnership between STL USA and the Danish Wind Power Academy (DWPA) is a game-changer for the sector.

This unique collaboration sets a new benchmark in wind energy workforce development, offering an unparalleled training experience that benefits both companies and individuals alike.

What Makes the STL USA & DWPA Training Partnership Unique?

Many training programs provide essential safety certifications, but the STL USA and DWPA partnership goes beyond the basics, all the way to advanced training for seasoned techs. By combining STL USA’s industry-leading training expertise with DWPA’s deep understanding of a wide range of wind turbines, this program delivers a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience tailored to the real-world needs of wind technicians and field personnel.

1. Industry-Specific, Custom-Tailored Training

Unlike generic safety courses, the STL USA & DWPA program is meticulously designed to address the specific challenges and skillsets required in wind. This means technicians aren’t just checking off compliance boxes—they’re learning skills directly applicable to their daily operations, including:

• Maintenance of specific onshore wind turbines (GE, Vestas, Seimens and more)

• Troubleshooting, know issue identification and repair of a vast range of in-use wind turbines

• Advanced electrical and mechanical training for real-world scenarios

• Integrated customer specific safety protocols

• Industry certification covering Global Wind Organisation and NFPA 70E based electrical safety

2. Hands-On, Onsite, and Real-World Training

Many training programs take place in classroom settings or controlled environments that fail to replicate the on-the-ground conditions technicians actually face. STL USA and DWPA bridge this gap by providing:

• Onsite training at real wind energy installations

• State-of-the-art mobile training facilities that bring industry-grade tools and equipment directly to technicians

• Immersive, scenario-based learning where trainees practice in real working environments rather than simulations

This practical approach ensures that technicians leave the program fully confident and prepared for fieldwork, reducing downtime and increasing overall job efficiency.

3. Compliance + Competency: A 360° Approach

Safety compliance is essential, but competency is what sets elite technicians apart. The STL USA & DWPA program doesn’t just teach regulations—it builds real skills. Through this training, individuals receive certifications in essential GWO courses, including:

• GWO Basic Safety Training (BST)

• GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART)

• GWO Control of Hazardous Energies (CoHE)

• GWO Enhanced First Aid (EFA)

However, the program also integrates advanced competency-building modules that go beyond industry minimums, ensuring technicians are not just qualified, but truly field-ready.

4. Direct Benefits to Companies

For companies operating in the distributed wind sector, investing in top-tier training is a strategic decision that yields significant long-term benefits:

• Reduced downtime: Well-trained technicians work more efficiently and safely, minimizing costly errors and delays.
• Higher retention rates: Employees value top-tier training and development opportunities, leading to greater job satisfaction and lower turnover.
• Enhanced reputation: Companies known for investing in quality training become industry leaders, attracting top talent and business partnerships.
• Regulatory compliance with added value: Ensuring technicians meet GWO standards while simultaneously upskilling them creates a dual advantage—compliance and operational excellence.
