Ireland’s offshore wind sector is moving quickly from ambition to action. With large-scale projects advancing and supply chain opportunities opening, there has never been a more important time for professionals to position themselves at the forefront of this growing industry.

The Fundamentals of Offshore Wind course, delivered by Technological University Dublin in partnership with Skillnet Offshore Wind Academy, provides a comprehensive foundation to the sector, equipping participants with the knowledge needed to understand and engage across the entire offshore wind value chain.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed to support:

  • Individuals new to the offshore wind sector who want to build a strong foundation for the future.
