Full course description
This course includes the following modules:
Basic Pneumatics
Basic pneumatics prepares learners to work intelligently in industry with pneumatic applications. It introduces pneumatic power and takes learners through key topics and skills in pneumatic power and safety, pneumatic circuits, pneumatic schematics, the principles of pneumatic pressure and flow, and pneumatic speed control circuits. It covers pressure regulation, air filtration, how to connect pneumatic circuits, pneumatic cylinders, valves, and actuators, a wide array of pneumatic applications, pressure and cylinder force, pneumatic leverage, pressure and volume, and air flow resistance.
Basic Pneumatics Troubleshooting
This course will cover major topics like troubleshooting air preparation, actuators, valves, vacuum systems, and pneumatic systems. Specifically, learners will study objectives such as: pressure test points; symptoms and causes of regulator failure; the operation of an internal pilot-operated directional control valve; inspection and troubleshooting a vacuum cup; and troubleshooting zero pressure.

Basic Hydraulics
Basic hydraulics introduces hydraulic power use and application, allowing learners to develop skills and knowledge needed to apply hydraulics in modern industry. It takes learners through key topics and skills in hydraulic power & safety, hydraulic circuits, hydraulic schematics, the principles of hydraulic pressure and flow, and hydraulic speed control circuits. It covers pumps, fluid friction, how to connect hydraulic circuits, hydraulic cylinders and valves (including needle valves), and a wide array of hydraulic applications.
Principles of Hydraulics
Principles of hydraulics introduces the theory and application of hydraulics in manufacturing. The learner studies the fundamentals of hydraulic theory; the form, fit, and function of components of a hydraulic system; common applications of hydraulics in manufacturing; and how to safely operate and maintain hydraulic systems.
Basic Hydraulics Troubleshooting
This course will cover major topics like troubleshooting hydraulic systems, pumps, actuators, and valves, including directional control valves. Specifically, learners will study objectives such as: types of in-circuit component tests; symptoms and causes of directional control valve failure; inspecting and troubleshooting a pilot-operated check valve; and troubleshooting a pressure change problem in a multiple pressure circuit.
