Advanced Platform
Theory Training

Enhance skills and broaden horizons with training designed for your wind team’s success.

What is Advanced Platform Theory training?

The Advanced Platform Theory training, based on specific data from your wind farm and the issues that you experience, goes beyond the basics, immersing participants in advanced theoretical concepts, cutting-edge problem solving, and hands-on applications to optimize performance and production.

The certification opens the door to unmatched expertise in the field for wind turbine technicians, site leads, and supervisors, while remaining adaptable to deliver value for back-office support staff, asset managers, remote operations, and field engineers.

Our 5-day theoretical classroom course is a deep dive into the intricacies of a specific wind turbine model. We do not just teach theory. We tailor the training course around your turbines’ unique characteristics, pre-empting breakdowns, and unplanned stops.

Our perspective is that participants first need a comprehensive understanding of when the specific turbine achieves optimal performance for its age and condition. This insight empowers them to foresee potential issues and address them proactively.

Who can benefit?

Advanced Platform Theory training is primarily designed for wind turbine technicians, site leads, and supervisors. The training is adaptable to also cater to a broader audience, including back-office support staff, asset managers, remote operations, and field engineers.

In a rapidly evolving industry, our certification adapts to meet the demands of diverse roles within the wind energy sector.

Reliable and ambitious friends that grow with you. Important in life, important in business. I met Carsten Lind Andersen more than 10 years ago when we were creating our first service teams in onshore and offshore wind. Since then dwpa - Danish Wind Power Academy has been a great friend at work.

DWPA was what we wanted and could not find elsewhere. DWPA could customize the course based on turbine or approach. It is excellent that they use the wind farm info and even the specific machines.

I enjoyed going over schematics, and organizing documents to help with troubleshooting Trainer is very knowledgeable in every aspect, if we have a question he is able to answer it. I know it’s not normal I don’t believe for the instructor to climb a tower with you but I believe this was an amazing experience, so just happens we had a difficult fault to troubleshoot. I learned a lot from this.

What are the Practicalities?

We are dedicated to offering a flexible and convenient learning experience.

While our preference is to conduct the training at your wind farm or offices, we understand that it might not always be possible. In such cases, the remote live/virtual option provides flexibility without sacrificing the quality of the learning experience.

For on-site training, we maintain an intimate learning atmosphere with a maximum of 12 participants, and for online distance learning, the limit is set at 10. This ensures a personalized learning environment.
