Offshore Wind Upskilling 

"This course was an invaluable learning experience for any engineer interested in the offshore wind industry. It provided a comprehensive overview of the turbine lifecycle, from leasing to decommissioning. I also learned about the essential roles of ports, vessels, and logistics in transporting turbine components to the site. One of the highlights was the floating wind turbine site exercise, which taught me the strategic site selection process before leasing applications."

Blade Testing & Inspection Workshop

“The Offshore Wind Blade Testing and Inspection Workshop was very informative. Having the ability to see the scale and size of these blades in person allows one to put the inspecting process into perspective. Knowing what’s possible when it comes to inspecting blades will give one a better understanding of the decisions made during operations and management of wind turbines.”
