Training Catalogue
dwpa were formed in 2004 with a single, and very clear purpose – to help owners/operators and maintainers of Renewable Energy assets improve their operational performance and realize their strategic ambitions by helping them develop a deep understanding of their assets.
Our programs combine global best practices with local turbine-specific insights and trainers with more than 20 years of hands-on experience who have trained across all continents globally in multiple languages.

Competency Pathway
Our Competency Patchway presents your road to excellence. It is possible to join the pathway at any point that fits your current level. When necessary, we conduct an assessment to determine the best courses for you.
“Genuinely impressed with the assessment and the overview it provides the individual and myself. Thus, DWPA can then support with a clear route forward to improve the competency and skill.”
James Beevor – Operations Manager RWE Renewables UK LTD


Technical Competency Assessment
The dwpa assessment tool provides an advantage in understanding the level of each participant. 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.
By assessing participants’ competencies from the outset, you can create personalized development plans that target specific areas for improvement, ultimately saving time and resources.
This approach recognizes that not all participants will require the same solutions or development paths, and allows for a more tailored approach to skill enhancement and career progression.
Technology Essential
This training program is suitable for any role and will provide the participants with the knowledge, skills, and competencies of the technologies, components, and systems that are used within a modern wind turbine.
This is a fundamental level class designed to provide a firm understanding of generic wind turbine systems and sub-systems to the component level, including an introduction to technical documentation such as electrical schematic diagrams and hydraulic diagrams.
The main goal is to reach the technical understanding of all components in the turbine to be ready to start to work on turbine-specific systems.
The program enhances the technical understanding to the next level to create a safe work environment and reduce downtime by quickly understanding the systems and subsystems.
Technical Sprints
Technical Sprints are designed to enhance your theoretical knowledge within one or more of the following topics: Electrics, Hydraulics, Mechanics, Controls, and Gearbox.
Technical sprints have been developed following our assessment. If the assessment indicates a lack of knowledge in one or two of these subjects, but high scores in others, we suggest our Technical Sprints instead of undergoing an entire Wind Turbine Tech Essential 5-day class.
The main goal is to fill the gaps to reach the technical understanding of all components in the turbine and to be ready to start to work on platform-specific systems.
