European Qualification Profile
The European Qualification Profile EQP represents an initiative of the European wind energy sector to specify uniform transnational qualification standards for the Industry.
In line with the WINDSKILL strategy these have been defined within the key wind energy process stages with a particular emphasis on operation and maintenance skills requirements. The individual job profiles are structured in accordance with the European Qualification Framework for Lifelong Learning to ensure applicability and transfer to all European educational frameworks.
The Windskill profiles provide an overview of each key process stage. In addition, detailed job profiles have been developed for the following process stages:
- Installation
- Onshore maintanance and
- Offshore maintenance
The EQP profiles will be extended and reviewed on the basis of the experience in the development of appropriate training concepts and extensive stakeholder consultations.
The finalised profileswill be issued as the Windskill Standard in June 2009. All industry stakeholder contributions to this process are welcome.
