Global Wind Organisation (GWO) has released the Instructor Qualification (IQ) Standard. The core purpose of the IQ Standard is to introduce a structured, pedagogical guideline for instructors leading GWO training.
The new standard focuses on participant-centred teaching and adult learning principles with GWO’s Taxonomy Framework as the supporting theoretical background. The IQ Standard is part of a wider GWO instructor qualification framework, which covers an alternative process for qualifying instructors to deliver GWO modules, and an assessment and governance structure to ensure higher quality, train-the-trainers.
