BESPOKE COURSES HOME OR AWAY
As well as regularly delivering courses from the dedicated training facilities at its Exeter Headquarters, they also offer courses at customer premises both in the UK and internationally. All courses are taught in English but trainers have experienced of working with interpreters when required.
WIND INDUSTRY
The onshore and offshore wind industry is vulnerable to many different types of weather, the impact of which can prove very costly. Wind energy professionals use weather and climate information every day for their operational decision making and benefit greatly from an increased understanding of meteorology.
The Met Office College runs both scheduled and bespoke courses for wind energy professionals, giving attendees an introduction to meteorology which helps them better understand and interpret meteorological information. In turn this gives wind energy professionals the insight needed for more confident decision making so that they can optimise operations and site safety.
TRAINING COURSE DETAIL Running over two full days, the course offers core modules in weather regimes and fronts, weather hazards, general wind effects, localised wind effects, sea state and how to make the best use of Met Office forecasts and data.
TESTIMONIAL
Katherine York at Centrica, who attended one of the wind energy training courses, said: “We receive forecasts from Met Office every six hours. These are critical to our operations as they allow us to understand what the sea state may be and this is one of our important factors in determining safety when transferring personnel from vessels to the turbines.
“I now feel I have the confidence and the understanding to discuss with my colleagues and respond in a sensible manner when they pose questions.”
