INFO ABOUT COURSE
Keep your skills up to date with our GWO Training Update!
In a high-risk profession, safety is paramount. That’s why it’s essential to renew your GWO Certifications every two years from your start date to ensure you are always prepared for the challenges this industry brings.
Our Refresher Courses are designed for those who already hold a current GWO Basic Certification. Over three intensive days, you will review and reinforce module content and repeat all key practices. This will ensure that your skills are always at their best and that you are up to date with the latest best practices in safety and risk prevention.
We understand that everyone has unique needs, so we offer the flexibility to train you through the modules separately if you prefer.
This means you don’t have to complete the whole course again if you only need to refresh certain areas of your training.
Don’t compromise your safety or that of your colleagues. Keep your GWO Certification up to date and you’ll be ready to meet any challenge this profession may present.
