Duration – 3 Days

Aimed at Mechanical/Hydraulic related staff at all levels with no prior knowledge of electrics. Suitable for maintenance staff, service engineers, technical sales and project engineers.

This 3 day foundation course will introduce you to the electrics/electricals used in association with Fluid Power Systems.

This course is vital to all concerned as we move faster into the world of integrated systems engineering and your knowledge needs to extend beyond that of just hydraulics, so this course will help you towards expanding your skills and knowledge.

This course is CPD accredited by IQ and IOM3

Entry Requirements

• Stage 1 Hydraulics (or equivalent)

Course Aims

• This course aims to increase your practical skills and overall knowledge relating to the application of Electrical/Electronics for the control of Fluid Power Systems
• The course will improve your overall confidence in dealing with Integrated Systems and will enable you to follow safe working procedures whilst maintaining and managing such systems.

Course Objectives

Knowledge Based
