This course is designed to promote efficient trouble-shooting of industrial hydraulic systems, which can require the knowledge of more than one craft or skill. Millwrights, Pipefitters, Instrumentation Groups, Electricians and Maintenance Personnel in general will understand how electrical and hydraulic systems interface.
Our teaching methods include heavy class participation, visual aids, texts, and actual components. Our instructors have many years of experience and take a non-intimidating, no-nonsense approach in their presentation.
Attendees should bring note taking material and a hand held calculator. This course is a minimum of 16 hours and a maximum of 24 hours.
