OBJECTIVES
The aim of this module is to prepare participants for company specific bolt tightening training, through scenario-based training.
After having successfully completed the BTT Bolt Tightening Module, participants will have the:
1) Act independently to safely plan, carryout and complete generic bolt torquing and tensioning tasks to specification using energy powered equipment.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The Basic Technical Training modules are targeted at candidates who have no previous experience of hydraulic, mechanical, electrical or installation systems, or working with energy powered bolt tightening, but may also be used to upskill candidates who have some knowledge but not of its application in wind turbines.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- Minimum age of 18 years;
- Valid certificate of medical fitness;
- Valid BST Certificate and WINDA ID.
- Before attending the BTT Installation Module participants must first complete both the BTT Mechanical and BTT Bolt Tightening modules.
- Furthermore, personnel in the wind service industry must be able to read and write to a sufficient standard to be able to carry out instructions and complete the required documentation.
- It is an advantage if participants are able to read, speak and write English.
