Course Overview

GWO Blade Repair gives participants the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform minor blade repairs under supervision of a more experienced technician, while working in a way that keeps themselves and others safe.

The aim of this course is to enable participants to perform and document blade repair tasks and execute work in accordance with work instructions. This is an entry level course, and therefore doesn’t enable participants to perform repairs on major structural blade components such as spar caps or carbon fibre.
