Thermal Optimisation Training

The training provided by the HYDAC team has proved to be very beneficial indeed, thank you for all your time and help in this regard it is much appreciated.

Your training also did a good job of communicating the wide ranging professional capabilities and benefits in product design features, tools and approach by HYDAC.

Thermal Optimisation Training

I found the Thermal Optimization Training session very informative and thoroughly enjoyed the content, particularly the practical insights shared. It was valuable and will certainly be useful for my current and future projects.

Thermal Optimisation Training

The Thermal Optimisation Training course was informative, and the application examples were current. All questions during the course were addressed by the trainer.

Thermal Optimisation Training

The Thermal Optimisation Training was a very productive session, and I gained valuable information about the HYDAC range of products and their efficiency in thermal optimisation. Special thanks to Andrea for delivering the training and sharing his deep knowledge in this field.

Basic Hydraulics 1

Hi Paul, I would just like to thank you for providing the training we have just taken part in. This is exactly what we need in many applications at Worsley (South32) and has been beyond educational. The course was engaging, informative and well-structured and delivered. Looking forward to hydraulics II next week! Kind Regards, Kylie

Maintain Hydraulics 2

In this course, we studied the repair process of hydraulic components and systems, as well as the understanding of how failures occur. It also teaches us the approach one may take to rectify the issues. What's more, this course was delivered effectively while being highly enjoyable.  

Basic Hydraulics 1

Hi Paul I have done several hydraulic courses over the past decade or so and I am delighted to say your course stands out to be best in the following: 1. Your presentations and PowerPoint are well organised. 2. Your practical bench test and presentations on the hydraulic training rig represent real life situations in the mining industry. 3. You are very knowledgeable with diverse experience across different industries. Well done mate.I am not hesitant to recommend your Training course ...

Maintain Hydraulics 3

The pump controls and pressure sequencing information were very interesting and I particularly enjoyed all the calculations of the hydraulic motor. As a service technician, all aspects of this course are relevant to my work.

Basic Hydraulics 1

With this course, it was easy to understand everything! It's very easy to follow, step by step, the instructions and lessons given during the course. I think that the instructor is very kind, possesses high skills and know-how to easily share his knowledge with his students. We learnt things like safety in relation to hydraulic circuits and reading schematic drawings.

Custom Course (AGCO)

This course taught me how the system actually works, not just what it does. It will make repairing and diagnosing much easier.
