Participants must meet the following baseline eligibility requirements, in addition to any module-specific prerequisites:

•      Be fit to participate: attend in a healthy physical and mental condition and be well rested; the training provider may exclude participants if they show signs of illness, fatigue, or impairment that could make training unsafe.

•      Hold a WINDA profile / provide WINDA ID: participants must have their own personal profile in WINDA and provide their WINDA ID so training records can be registered.

•      Medical self-assessment / statement: participants must complete the required medical declaration/statement as part of eligibility for training participation.

•      Refresher timing rule: refresher training must be completed before the existing training record expires. If a record has expired, the participant must complete initial training again.

BST modules have no additional prerequisites beyond the universal prerequisites above.

•       First Aid (FA): none beyond universal prerequisites.

•       Manual Handling (MH): none beyond universal prerequisites.

•       Fire Awareness (FAW): none beyond universal prerequisites.

•       Working at Heights (WAH): none beyond universal prerequisites.

•       WAH & MH Combined: none beyond universal prerequisites.

Sea Survival (SS): none beyond universal prerequisites

ART modules require specific prior training records (in addition to universal prerequisites):

•       ART-H (Hub, Spinner & Inside Blade Rescue): prerequisite: Valid BST - Working at Heights (WAH), First Aid (FA), Manual Handling (MH).

•       ART-N (Nacelle, Tower & Basement Rescue): prerequisite: Valid BST - Working at Heights (WAH), First Aid (FA), Manual Handling (MH).

•       SART-H (Single Rescue: Hub/Spinner/Inside Blade): prerequisite: Valid BST - WAH, FA, MH and ART-H.

•       SART-N (Single Rescue: Nacelle/Tower/Basement): prerequisite: Valid BST - WAH, FA, MH and ART-N.

If you deliver refreshers, ART-R prerequisites are defined in the ART-R standard.

CoHE module prerequisites (in addition to universal prerequisites):

•       CoHE Basic Safety Module (BaSC): no additional prerequisites beyond universal prerequisites.

•       CoHE Electrical Safety Module (ES): prerequisite: BaSC and BTTE. Eligibility note: working experience with electricity supervised by a Qualified Person is recommended.

CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Module (PFS): prerequisite: BaSC and BTTH. Eligibility note: working experience with pressure fluids supervised by a Qualified Person is recommended

Module prerequisites (in addition to universal prerequisites):

•       BTT Mechanical (BTTM): no additional prerequisites beyond universal prerequisites.

•       BTT Bolt Tightening (BTTB): prerequisite: BTTM (GWO notes acceptance of an older BTTM version per standard note).

•       BTT Electrical (BTTE): no additional prerequisites beyond universal prerequisites.

•       BTT Hydraulics (BTTH): no additional prerequisites beyond universal prerequisites.

•       BTT Installation (BTTI): prerequisites: BTTM and BTTB.

GWO Solar standards are published under the Solar training standards and are intended to be read alongside the Requirements for Training.

•       Meet the universal prerequisites (fitness/medical declaration, WINDA ID, refresher timing rules).

•       Module sequencing (if Solar Safety and Solar Technical modules are bundled into a one-week format) is provider delivery logistics rather than an additional GWO eligibility gate.

GWO - BST/BTT/ART Training Package

Must satisfy all prerequisites for each component:

•       BST: universal prerequisites only.

•       BTT: follow BTT sequencing (BTTM -> BTTB; BTTI requires BTTM + BTTB if included).

•       ART: requires valid BST WAH + FA + MH before ART modules.

GWO - BST/BTT/ART/BTTI Training Package

Same as above, plus:

•       BTTI requires BTTM and BTTB.

For SMRP’s CMRP, public guidance indicates there are no education or experience prerequisites to apply for or sit for the CMRP exam. Candidates must still complete the application process, pay required fees, and pass the exam to earn the certification.

Common application / testing requirements include:

•       Complete and submit the CMRP application.

•       Pay all applicable fees in advance.

•       Follow exam retake rules (commonly a six (6) month waiting period between attempts, if applicable).
