GWO BTT Mechanical Training Module Designer -- 2

Senior Instructional Designer Needed – Develop GWO BTT Mechanical Technical Training Package
Project Overview
Deriva Energy is seeking an experienced instructional designer to develop a complete instructor-led training package for the Global Wind Organization (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT) Mechanical Module. (pages 29-73)
The successful contractor will transform an existing technical standard and source materials into a professional, learner-centered, instructor-led training program suitable for wind turbine technicians.
This project requires significantly more than presentation development. The contractor will be responsible for instructional analysis, curriculum architecture, learning activity design, facilitator guidance, learner materials, and assessment development.
The final product shall support both classroom instruction and hands-on practical exercises while aligning with adult learning principles and the performance expectations of GWO training.
The contractor should have experience developing technical training for industrial, manufacturing, utilities, energy, aviation, military, maintenance, engineering, or related environments.

The contractor shall develop a complete instructor-led training package for the GWO BTT Mechanical Module.
Deliverables shall include:
1. Design Document
• Learning objective mapping
• Course architecture
• Lesson sequencing
• Time allocation recommendations
• Activity design strategy
2. Instructor Presentation
• Editable PowerPoint (.pptx)
• Professional visual design
• Speaker notes
• Embedded facilitation guidance
3. Facilitator Guide
• Detailed instructor script
• Discussion prompts
• Activity instructions
• Practical exercise guidance
• Timing recommendations
• Assessment guidance
4. Participant Guide

• Knowledge checks
• Practical exercise worksheets
• Reflection activities
5. Assessments
• Knowledge assessment bank
• Answer key
• Learning objective mapping
• Practical performance assessment recommendations
6. Source Package
• Editable source files
• Graphics and illustrations
• Copyright-free assets or documented licensing
• Reference list
The contractor shall provide all work in editable Microsoft Office formats.
What Success Looks Like
This is the section that separates good IDs from mediocre ones.
Acceptance Criteria
Deliverables will not be accepted solely because technical content has been transferred into PowerPoint slides.
Successful deliverables shall demonstrate:
• Alignment to provided learning objectives
• Application of adult learning principles
• Learner engagement strategies
• Practical application activities
• Scenario-based learning opportunities
• Effective facilitator guidance
• Technical accuracy
• Logical learning progression
• Appropriate assessment design
The course should enable instructors to confidently deliver training without relying on the original developer for clarification.
The facilitator guide should contain sufficient detail that a qualified technical trainer can successfully facilitate the program.
