To Apply for this funding search and enroll into the Grant Funding Pre-Qualification Class

Come to this class to learn how to do the real heavy lifting - using the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics! Power up a system that will take a human design and multiply the force to perform incredible feats. Fluid Power (Hydraulics and Pneumatics) are widely used methods of energy transmission used extensively on industrial, construction and agricultural machinery. Learn the building blocks of advanced systems: air compressors, power units, filters, pressure control valves, directional control valves, speed control valves, linear and rotary actuators, and more. It is recommended that students take the Electricity course or have fundamental knowledge of alternating and direct current (AC/DC). Gain stackable credentials and add to your skill set by earning two Festo / NC3 credentials.

LEARN THE SKILLS:

Interpret and draw pneumatic symbols
Construct and troubleshoot pneumatic circuits
Determine root cause of component failure
Make speed adjustments to actuators
