It's ben a while since I've heard any news from the folks at CFP Ltd., a provider of hands-on training for hydraulic system operation, maintenance and troubleshooting in Nova Scotia, so was happy to see a news announcement from the firm about some upcoming courses next year.

In addition to the courses below, they offer classes through a partner in Seal Cove, Newfoundland.

The following classes are available from January through April:

  • Level One, Hydraulic Theory and Components, Jan. 21-25 and Feb. 11-15.
  • Level Two, Basic Circuits and Troubleshooting,  Jan. 28-Feb. 1 and Feb. 25-Mar. 1
  • Level Three, Pump Controls and Troubleshooting, March 11-15
  • Level Four, Advanced Control Valves and Troubleshooting,  Apr 15-19

In addition, a Fluid Power Certification Review will be held  April 3 and 4, with the Certification Test on April 5. Registration for this Review must be completed by March 8.
