Hydraulic System Fundamentals - Irmo, SC
Hydraulic System Fundamentals - Irmo, SC
As a construction, agricultural or even on-highway diesel technician, you will often find yourself working with complex hydraulic systems but do you truly understand how they work? By the end of this class, students will have a comprehensive understanding of hydraulic systems and will be ready to start learning how to properly diagnose them.
Upon completion, students will also receive reference material for further self-study as well as a certificate of completion.
Hydraulic System Components
In order to properly diagnose hydraulic equipped machines, technicians need to know exactly how the hydraulic system is built to function and also how to interpret the hydraulic schematics. The classroom portion of this course will cover all of this and give students a foundation that they can build upon to learn the diagnostic skills to fix these systems.

Hands-On Hydraulic Training
With the help of our state-of-the-art hydraulic labs, students will be able to build their own hydraulic systems, set pressures, control the speed of actuators, and more. These projects will prepare students to learn how to properly diagnose these systems.
COVID-19 Precautions
Until further notice, students attending our in-person training classes at any location will be required to undergo a mandatory, non-contact temperature check before entering the classroom. Optional masks will also be provided to students.
