We work with clients once the GWO Safety Training Standard is in place, conducting a system audit and providing GWO Safety Training Certification on successful completion.
Our team will get in touch to outline the process and explain the plan for your initial assessment. We can also signpost you to any resources that you might find useful on your journey to becoming certified.
Referred to as a “Stage 1 Assessment”, our auditor will conduct an initial review of your management system to determine your readiness for the certification audit, known as the “Stage 2 Assessment”. The Stage 1 Assessment will include reviews of the management system documentation and allocation of resources. It will also determine if management reviews, and internal audit processes are established and confirm the appropriate scope of the management system.
Gaps in your system will be documented as “Areas of Concern” that should be addressed prior to the Stage 2 Assessment.
When you are ready, an auditor will conduct a “Stage 2 Assessment” to establish if your organization meets the standard’s requirements. This is an in-depth review of each of your processes to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the management system. Where requirements are not met, the auditor will issue a nonconformity.
Nonconformities must be addressed prior to certification being granted. Once the responses for nonconformities are accepted, the auditor can recommend certification.
Following a review by our Compliance Team, a decision will be made as to whether your certification can be issued. Once certification is granted, we will conduct audits at least annually to ensure continued conformance to the requirements of the standard.

After Stages 1 and 2 have been completed, and the training body has been certified, annual surveillance audits are required to ensure that the training provider’s certification is being maintained.
The surveillance audits are identical to the Stage 2 audit, with the management system and training session being audited on a sample basis. The auditor will provide an updated report, and any nonconformances must be addressed before continued certification.
Yes, Amtivo is authorized to certify to all four training settings and modules that GWO covers. These are fixed facility, mobile, on-site and digital.
