Instructor of the Year Award Returns for Its Second Season

Are you ready to shine a spotlight on the incredible instructors and training teams that keep the wind workforce safe? The GWO Safety & Training Awards return for their 4th edition, and this year, we’re inviting you to take part in celebrating the very best in wind safety and training.

During 2024, GWO launched the Instructor of the Year award. If you missed out the chance to participate last year, now’s your chance to celebrate excellence in wind energy training. The Instructor of the Year Award invites nominations for outstanding instructors who go above and beyond in delivering exceptional training.

Here's how it works:

Nominations: Course participants can nominate their instructors using this survey link (https://wkf.ms/4hmQ26Z). Alternatively, training providers can generate a QR code using the same link to make it easy for participants to submit nominations during or after their courses.

Validation: Training centres must validate instructor nominations before they proceed to the next stage. GWO will contact relevant centres between May 5–16, 2025, for validation. Instructors moving forward will be notified by email no later than May 5th. Judging: An external panel will evaluate nominees based on participant feedback and training centre input.

Winners: Shortlisted candidates will be announced in August 2025, and the winner will be revealed at the Safety & Training Awards Ceremony on October 8th in Madrid, Spain.

Note: Winners of the 2024 award are not eligible for this edition.

Ready to recognize your exceptional instructors? Let’s make this season even better than the last!
