About the Newcastle Training Center:

Welcome to Maersk Training in Newcastle!

Maersk Training in Newcastle is the first centre in the UK to be accredited by the Global Wind Organisation, and the facility is set up to execute primarily wind-focused courses. All our courses are delivered through a mixture of classroom based, practical and on-site training, between our facility and nearby pool facility at the Marine and Offshore Safety Training centre. We offer all modules of the GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) and the GWO Basic Safety Refresher (BSTR) and GWO Technical Training.

Our highly skilled instructors deliver exceptional training through knowledgeable practical demonstrations and detailed theory- ensuring all subject areas are covered thoroughly, and provide a friendly face to provide support and help delegates in become highly skilled individuals. We put substantial focus on safety, and ensure each delegate is well-equipped to work in their relevant field with the highest level of safety training we can provide.

Facilities and Features:

  1. State-of-the-Art Equipment: Our facility includes a bespoke hub, utilised to provide an authentic environment for delegates to use for practical work when required to access the hub and yaw sections of wind turbine generators.
  2. Classrooms: We have three classrooms located in the facility for instructor-led theory work, one technical workshop containing everything needed for immersive hydraulic, electrical and mechanical practical elements for GWO, and a large space for practical work at heights, containing bespoke hub rescue facilities.
  3. Outdoor Training Area: Outdoor facilities boast room for Fire Awareness practical drills and working in confined spaces.
  4. Amenities: We have an on-site cafeteria serving freshly cooked lunches daily, a well-stocked coffee/tea counter, and ample seating for delegates.
