INDUSTRY RECOGNISED COURSES FROM THE BFPA BFPA LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME The BFPA have for many years been passionate about raising standards within the fluid power market and industry as a whole, beginning with our Foundation Level programme. BFPA FOUNDATION LEVEL – HYDRAULICS The aim of the Foundation Level in Hydraulics is to provide candidates with the understanding of where Fluid Power – Hydraulics is used in modern society and its importance in the provision of power and motion control. Examples of topics covered include: Fundamental principles of all hydraulic systems Hydraulic symbols, pumps, fluid oil reservoirs, actuators Pressure, flow and direction control, contamination control, hose technology, maintenance procedures BFPA FOUNDATION LEVEL – PNEUMATICS It is acknowledged that in today’s world it is rare for pneumatics to be applied as a single technology and invariably electrical /electronic controls are included as well. We therefore recommend that a basic introduction to electronics is considered alongside this foundation level pneumatics programme. Examples of topics covered include: Basic fundamental principles for pneumatic systems Pneumatic symbols, compressors, airline components, actuators, tube & pipework Pressure, flow and direction control Electrical principles, techniques and symbol Maintenance procedures For more information about any of our courses or to check availability please visit: www.bfpa.co.uk/training Please call 01608 647900or email enquiries@bfpa.co.uk BFPA FOUNDATION LEVEL – ELECTRONIC CONTROLS Engineers need to be equipped with at least the basics of electronic and control technology in order to embrace their ever-increasing role as part of Integrated Fluid Power Systems. Examples of topics covered include: Basic principles equating to fluid power analogies where possible Electronic components and their applications. An introduction to control systems Power supply methods Magnetism and electro-magnetism Electrical symbols, test and measurement, motors and motor control Cables and termination methods Maintenance procedures BFPA HOSE ASSEMBLY SKILLS TRAINING COURSE This two day course is a mixture of classroom theory and workshop practical assessments. The training programme is designed to provide the attendee with a sound level of understanding to enable them to develop into a quality hydraulic hose technician. Throughout the course attendees will be asked to complete classroom exercises, answer oral and/or written questions and take part in practical hoseassembly assessments. COURSE CONTENT � Thread Awareness � Hose Assembly � Contamination � Tightening of Connectors � Hose Assembly Routing and Installation � Hose Management Assessment BFPA LEVEL 1 HYDRAULICS VOCATIONAL COURSE This BFPA training course is primarily intended for those personnel involved in the maintenance and management of Fluid Power Systems – in short – anyone who is expected to operate and maintain fluid power components and systems at a practical level whilst taking into account safe working procedures. Examples of topics covered include: � Fundamental principles of all hydraulic systems � Hydraulic symbols, pumps, fluid oil reservoirs, actuators � Pressure, flow and direction control, contamination control, hose technology, maintenance procedures � Recognising component parts of a selected machine and their function � Checking accumulator pre-charge pressure and establishing the required level � Carrying out hose maintenance on a hydraulic circuit � Following established procedures for replacing a hydraulic valve seal kit or a filter element and associated seal kit BFPA LEVEL 1 PNEUMATICS VOCATIONAL COURSE This BFPA training course is designed to increase and improve the knowledge of maintenance staff at all levels. This further level of knowledge and understanding will enable staff to better maintain and manage the control of Electro-Pneumatic Systems and carry out their duties following safer working procedures and improved communication skills. Examples of topics covered: � Basic fundamental principles for pneumatic systems � Pneumatic symbols, compressors, airline components, actuators, tube and pipework � Pressure, flow and direction control � Electrical principles, techniques and symbol � Maintenance procedures BRITISH FLUID POWER ASSOCIATION BFPA HOSE ASSEMBLY SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMME C0URSE OVERVIEW The BFPA have for many years been passionate about raising standards within the fluid power market and industry as a whole, beginning with our Hose assembly skills training.
