Fluid Power & Hydraulics Courses

This BFPA Accredited training programme has been developed to meet the needs of those involved in the service, maintenance and management of Fluid Power Systems as well as Mechanical Apprentices, Technical Representatives and Project Engineers. This course would also be beneficial to all operators of Fluid Power equipment.

This course will provide delegates with both theoretical and practical exposure to working with the main electro hydraulic components, with the emphasis on setting up and carrying out systems testing, along with demonstrating the relevant safe working practices.

This is a 2 day BFPA accredited and certified course. Attendees will receive tuition in the many techniques and considerations essential for the production of a quality Flexible Hose Assembly and the correct installation methods. Many of these topics will have been referred to in the Foundation Course, and this skills-based course adds to that knowledge by demonstrating and practicing the skill set required to produce and install Flexible hose assemblies to recognised industrial standards.

This BFPA accredited refresher training and assessment course is designed to ensure the avoidance of technical skills fade and allows delegates to be updated on manufacturer and industry lead body best practices. Delegates will be required to complete both written and practical assessments and on successful completion will have their Hose Assembly Skills passport renewed for a further 3 years.

This is a 1 day course which covers the elements listed below in the training content section. On completion of the course the candidate will have received a good basic introduction to Flexible hose assemblies enabling them to work safely with hydraulic hoses and associated connectors which are in use on most pieces of equipment, machinery and plant in every industrial sector.

This BFPA course is classroom based and covers all aspects of hose management including hose assembly identity, inspection, creating records i.e. hose registers and inspection checklists, Risk analysis and Competence assurance. Candidates will be assessed on each of the topics covered. Certification is graded; Pass Merit or distinction

This half-day training programme has been developed to meet the needs of Instrument Fitters, Instrument Technicians, and all personnel involved in the maintenance, inspection and repair of equipment plant and machinery with pressure pipework and tubing installed using compression fittings.

This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of fittings and adaptor used in systems comprising Flexible Hose Assemblies. Correct identification and matching of these components is essential to ensure the safety of personnel and maintaining machine/equipment integrity. A hands on approach is taken to ensure that delegates completing the course are aware of the wide range of fittings and adaptors available and the correct methods used for identification.
