Course Overview

Develop The Skills

HYDRAULICS SKILLS TRAINING

Level 2

Develop Advanced Knowledge of Hydraulic Systems

BFPA Level 2 Hydraulics provides more advanced training for engineers and engineering managers looking to deepen their knowledge and practical understanding of hydraulic systems.

Delivered over four days, the course develops an in-depth understanding of the principles governing hydraulic systems, together with the function, operation and adjustment of a wide range of hydraulic components.

Delegates explore areas including open circuit and variable displacement pumps, accumulators, pressure, flow and directional control valves, proportional control valves, actuators, hydraulic circuits, contamination and temperature control, and maintenance procedures.

Practical hands-on tasks and assessment support the technical learning, helping delegates relate hydraulic principles to the systems and components encountered within engineering environments.

Successful completion leads to BFPA Accredited Certification and a Training Passport.

WHY DEVELOP

Hydraulic Knowledge and Capability

Deepen Your Understanding of Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems can incorporate a wide range of components and controls, requiring engineers to understand not only individual components but how they interact within complete systems and circuits.

BFPA Level 2 develops this understanding further, providing delegates with more in-depth knowledge of hydraulic system principles and component operation.

The course explores different pump technologies, hydraulic valves and actuators alongside systems and circuits, fluid management, contamination and temperature control.

Maintenance procedures are also included, helping delegates develop a broader understanding of the factors that influence the effective operation and maintenance of hydraulic equipment.

Right for You?

BFPA Level 2 Hydraulics is designed for people looking to deepen their understanding of hydraulic systems.

It is particularly suitable for:
» Hydraulics Engineers
» Design Engineers
» Engineering Managers
» Engineers looking to develop more advanced hydraulic knowledge
» Technical personnel working with hydraulic systems
» Organisations looking to develop greater hydraulic capability within their engineering teams

WHAT WILL YOU

Be Able to Do?

Following successful completion of BFPA Level 2 Hydraulics, delegates will have developed a more comprehensive understanding of hydraulic systems and components.

This includes greater confidence in:

» Understanding hydraulic system principles
» Understanding open circuit pumps
» Understanding variable displacement pumps
» Understanding the function of accumulators
» Understanding pressure, flow and directional control valves
» Understanding proportional control valves

» Understanding linear and rotary actuators
» Understanding hydraulic systems and circuits
» Recognising the importance of hydraulic fluid
» Understanding contamination control
» Understanding temperature control
» Understanding hydraulic maintenance procedures
» Applying hydraulic knowledge through practical tasks

ASSESSMENT &

Certification

BFPA Level 2 Hydraulics is delivered over four days and includes practical assessment.

Successful completion leads to BFPA Accredited Certification and a Training Passport.

The course combines in-depth technical learning with practical application, helping experienced engineering personnel develop a greater understanding of hydraulic systems, components and their operation.
