Nordex Acciona Training
DWPA provide specialized training for Nordex / Acciona turbines and systems, tailored to operators, maintenance teams, troubleshooting engineers, and technical leadership.
Why Nordex Acciona Training matters
Nordex, in which Acciona became a major shareholder in 2016, is a leading OEM in onshore wind turbines.
They offer a broad product portfolio (from mature “Beta / Gamma / Delta” platforms to newer models like / Delta4000) and maintain a global service network.
Because the Nordex fleet is diverse and continues evolving, properly trained staff are critical to safe, efficient operation, preventive maintenance, and fault resolution. Our training philosophy combines theory, hands-on work, diagnostics, and safety culture, always tied to Nordex / Acciona systems.
Supported Nordex Acciona Platforms
We support training for many Nordex and Acciona models, including (but not limited to):
- Beta / Gamma / Delta generation turbines (older platforms)
- Delta4000 platform (current generation)
- Specific models: N149/4.X, N155/5.X, N163/5.X, and variants in Delta4000 family
- Older / legacy models (Alpha, Beta, Gamma series) in safety and handling e-learning modules
If your turbine variant is not listed, we can develop a specialized module to support it.
Delivery, Certification, and Flexibility
Hands-on training in real turbines or mock setups ensures participants gain practical confidence.
Modular and scalable – choose only the modules your team needs or combine for a full learning pathway.
Assessments and certification are integrated, so participants must demonstrate competence before returning to duty.
Blended delivery options (in-person, virtual, hybrid) allow flexibility depending on travel, access, and budget.
Refresher and ongoing support – particularly important as turbines age and systems evolve in the Nordex / Acciona fleet.

Training Programs for Nordex Acciona Turbines
We take a 360° approach to operational training and have designed a range of programs to support the development of wind turbine technicians as well as off-site supporting resources and operational leadership teams to support a holistic understanding of the issues which drive operational performance.
Competency Assessment
What: Our assessment tool gives an advantage in understanding the level of the participants. This ensures that participants are attending classes and training sessions that are appropriate for their skill level, avoiding wasted time in sessions that may not be beneficial to them. And allows for more effective scheduling of daily operations.
The Assessment will clarify your current knowledge and competency gap and enable you to make informed choices when deciding what training will be needed.

Technical Sprints
What: Technical Sprints are designed to enhance your theoretical knowledge within one of the following topics: Controls, Hydraulics, Mechanicals, Gearbox and Electrics.
Who should attend: Technical sprints have been developed following our assessment, where we test in five different subjects: Controls, Electrics, Gearbox, Hydraulics, and Mechanicals. Suppose the assessment indicates a lack of knowledge in one or more of these subjects but high scores in others. In that case, we suggest our technical sprints instead of undergoing an entire Advanced Component Theory Training.
