WINDA Instructions

Welcome to WINDA

WINDA is Global Wind Organisation’s new online training records database. WINDA is
designed to be a simple, intuitive and safe way of accessing and verifying your GWO
training.
WINDA is a powerful yet simple tool that helps you by keeping track of your training so
you can focus on your work.

So how does WINDA benefit you?
1. WINDA will remind you when your training is about to expire so you can make sure
you get refresher training in time.
2. In WINDA, employers can check the validity of your GWO training by looking up your
WINDA ID quickly and safely.
3. Training Providers’ will instead of issuing a certificate to you or your employer,
upload a training record to your WINDA profile that will go with you anywhere and
belongs to you.

What you must do
As Training Providers are required to upload a training record to your WINDA profile, you
must register with a Course Participant profile in WINDA.
You must only register for one (1) Course Participant profile in WINDA.
When you have completed your registration in WINDA, you will receive a WINDA ID.
This WINDA ID is unique to you. You must provide your WINDA ID to the Training
Provider so they can upload your training records. Employers can then look up and
verify your training using your WINDA ID.
