ACCESS THE WIND INDUSTRY

It's your dream to work in the renewable energy industry?

But you worry about the cost of retraining and where to find reliable information? We don't blame you!

In 2010 we set up the Altitec Academy because those questions worried us too. We wanted to boost the skills of our own blade technician teams and help more people into a well-paid career in wind energy.

Altitec teams currently work full time in UK, Ireland, Europe, South Africa, Australia and Mexico. And as demand for skilled rotor blade technicians increases, so the industry has developed a recognised standard for technician training and skills.
