Certification and validity
The certificates that are issued are valid for 24 months. Of course, the risk inventory will have to show whether the frequency of exercises is sufficient for the technicians and the nature of the work. Perhaps an annual (online) update or toolbox is enough? Let us inform you if you have any questions about this.
In addition, GWO offers the possibility to follow a re-training from 2 months before the expiry date of the current certificate, without the start of the new certification being reset to the current course date. The original date is then maintained.
