"I absolutely loved my time at the Wind Academy from start to finish, all of the staff/teachers were so helpful throughout my journey in helping me achieve my goals and have fully supported me ever since. I would like to give a special thanks to Simon who pushed me to reach the next level with OTDR testing. Overall this is a fantastic course!"

"Jonny delivered the course very well keeping everyone engaged. Great mix of theory and practical. I would recommend the course for people wanting to get an entry level of understanding of offshore wind."
Jona Mcghin
"The team have a vast knowledge which they share. It is not just about how to do the testing it’s also why and how things operate. The test area set up is really good and simulates real testing on a site. I had little knowledge of it before the course but have came away very confident."
Brian Softley
"I had an outstanding experience with Lee and the team at The Wind Academy when I completed the City and Guilds Fibre Optics course. Simon was absolutely brilliant—he had a fantastic attitude and was incredibly approachable. I would highly recommend The Wind Academy to anyone looking for hands-on experience in Fibre Optics. They truly set you up for a career in the renewable sector."
Derek Noble
"The Wind Academy has been a game-changer for me. From my first enquiry to completing multiple courses, the team have been supportive, professional, and genuinely encouraging throughout. The tutors are knowledgeable, experienced, and make the training engaging and enjoyable — they even remembered me by name each time I returned, which really stood out. Thanks to the skills and confidence I gained here I was able to secure my first offshore project as an Electrical Technician within months."
Kyle Davis
"I’ve just renewed my GWO’s at the Wind Academy in Blyth and they were really helpful and professional. Thanks to Geoff Briggs and all the team at Blyth, I would highly recommend anyone to use The Wind Academy if you’re looking to get into the renewable’s industry. They have a vast amount of courses available and are very welcoming."
