Overview
Take part in our wind energy training and increase your career opportunities! Deepen your knowledge of wind energy and its use, learn how to develop wind energy projects and network with companies in the industry.
As wind power has become an established energy source in Asia, America and Europe, there is a strong demand for professionals with industry knowledge and experience in many companies.
During our “International Wind Industry Training” you will learn about aerodynamic principles and different types of wind turbines. You will learn how to calculate energy yields and deepen your expertise on the topics of turbine efficiency and the structure of turbine blades. In addition to technical knowledge, you will learn how to manage and finance new wind energy projects and, thanks to visits to plants and trade fairs, you will gain first-hand insights.
