What is onsite GWO training? Technicians onsite at a wind farm

Where do we train Onsite GWO courses?

Let us bring GWO training to you.

At STL USA, we appreciate that investing in high-quality training comes with a significant financial burden for our customers, not only the cost of the courses themselves, but also downtime, travel and accommodation costs, as well as staff being away from site for extended periods of time.
That’s why we have developed our onsite training facilities, meaning we can bring the training to you, at your facility, thanks to our state-of-the-art mobile training unit.
