The training is designed to onboard recently qualified technicians who possess the required skills but lack first-hand experience within the industry.

Building new opportunities
In 2023, GEV established a new on-blade training package in collaboration with The Port Training Services, which would be integrated into the training programme led by GEV’s UK training team.
Based in Blyth, UK, the wind turbine training facility is a unique asset consisting of a 33-meter-high decommissioned wind turbine that can facilitate rope access blade repair/retrofit training on the blades.
The initiative improves preparations for safety rescue drills, combining it with enhancements to develop skills associated with LEP application.
GEV technicians have the opportunity to conduct rope access procedures & technology applications in a true-to-life simulated environment, providing a unique space to put their skills into practice in a real-world environment.
