The GWO Basic Technical Training Hydraulic Module provides foundational knowledge and practical skills for performing basic hydraulic tasks under supervision in wind turbine environments. The module covers essential hydraulic principles, safety protocols, components such as pumps, valves, actuators, and accumulators, and how to read hydraulic diagrams. Trainees will also learn how to handle hydraulic fluids, use pressure measuring tools, and follow correct isolation and PPE procedures.

This training ensures that participants understand how to work safely and effectively with high-pressure systems and support basic hydraulic operations in accordance with GWO standards.
