Number of wind turbines is growing


and we need more competent people to work there. Global Wind Organization is a non-profit body that has been started by leading wind power manufacturers and operators. GWO strives for a harmless work environment in the wind power industry. In order to achieve this, it has set industry-common and international standards for the training of safety and emergency procedures. GWO training modules are industry standard allowing participants to acquire, use and renew their skills anywhere in the World. We call GWO certificates “driving license for a wind turbine” and try to bring all our competence for the people working there.


Toholampi training facility has started in February 2023 in premises of former Artesaaniopisto. We have started with GWO BST modules and now also provide ART (advanced rescue) modules. Our work is coordinated with Cresto Group in Sweden and all instructors are Level 3s in Cresto system. Our training records show in WINDA system. We have passed GWO audit and are official training provider.

Trainer experience is from 2014 and together we have over 40 years of wind turbine experience – not just training exercises, but hard work inside and outside in large number of modern wind turbines across Finland, Baltics and other EU states.

Number of windturbines is growing…

We decided to set up training center in Toholampi in order to deliver best quality for both new technicians and professionals doing their GWO refresh.

There are easier ways of fulfilling standard requirements, but we took extra effort to combine real life experience, best practices and knowledge from professional rescue teams, rope access and wind turbine works. We take pride in professional skills we have accumulated and our aim is that a participant who has accomplished our course is ready to face hard challenges.

Accidents do not announce themselves in advance, but proper risk management and training assure best response, whatever the circumstances. Cresto Safety has been delivering GWO for more than decade. Toholampi is a small place, but we are smack in the middle of Finnish Wind Power!
