Very well put together training and explanations that continue to build upon each other from the first day of the training until the last day. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the structure. Our group was fun as well!
Absolutely loved this training course. Very knowledgeable and very engaging! Highly recommend this course to those in the industry. Will be recommending to fellow employees as well! Thank you for everything!
The experience attending the course was excellent. Not only did Steve have the knowledge, he also was able to provide that knowledge in a way everyone in the class was able to understand. Awesome class!!!

Hydraulic Technology Training
3 Days | Instructor-Led | Hands-On
What Students Are Saying
“Steve is quite honestly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He is great at simplifying and breaking down hydraulic schematics, pumps, motors, equations, etc.”
— Alan Martinez, Google Review
“Hydraulic School was intense but well worth the time and cost. As a Facilities Manager it will definitely assist me and my team in troubleshooting hydraulic systems.”
— Brian Leddy, Facilities Manager, Google Review
We teach not just how hydraulic systems work but why components exist and how pressure, flow, and load affect system operation.
This hands-on hydraulic training course helps participants understand what is happening inside a hydraulic system, why problems occur, and how to correct them properly. The course focuses on industrial hydraulic systems, with practical crossovers to many mobile and equipment-based applications.
Students leave with a clearer understanding of how changes in pressure, flow, and load affect performance, heat generation, reliability, and troubleshooting outcomes so issues can be diagnosed and corrected correctly the first time.
What You'll Learn
- Why pressure changes cause unexpected movement, stalling, or heat
- How flow paths and restrictions affect speed and system response
- How load affects pressure and component operation
- How to troubleshoot hydraulics using a structured, repeatable process
- How improper adjustment and contamination lead to failures and downtime
- How correct component application improves safety and reliability
Key Topics Covered
- Hydraulic fundamentals and system operation
- Fixed and variable displacement pumps
- Directional, pressure, and flow control valves
- Hydraulic cylinders and motors
- Pressure-compensated and load-sensing concepts
- Piston and bladder accumulator applications
- Filtration and contamination control fundamentals
- Reading and developing hydraulic schematics

This hands-on pneumatic training course teaches how industrial pneumatic systems work and why specific pneumatic components are selected, with a strong focus on compressed air and vacuum system performance. Participants learn how pressure, flow, and air preparation impact pneumatic system efficiency, reliability, and overall operation, while gaining insight into common causes of pneumatic performance issues and how to correct them properly.
The course covers industrial pneumatic and automation systems used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and assembly applications. Participants gain practical knowledge of pressure settings, flow restrictions, air consumption, component sizing, and troubleshooting pneumatic systems, improving system speed, force, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
What You'll Learn
- Why pressure settings affect force, speed, and consistency
- How flow restrictions slow actuators and reduce system performance
- How air preparation impact’s reliability and component life
- How to troubleshoot pneumatic systems using a structured, repeatable process
- How leaks, restrictions, and misapplication increase energy cost
- How proper component selection improves safety and efficiency
Key Topics Covered
- Compressed air fundamentals
- Air preparation (filters, regulators, lubricators)
- Directional control valves
- Flow and pressure control
- Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
- Pneumatic schematics and symbols
- Vacuum generators and suction cups
- Pneumatic efficiency and leak reduction
Training Format
- Instructor-led classroom instruction
- Hands-on laboratory exercises using live pneumatic training equipment
- Focus on real-world industrial automation systems
Hands-on labs reinforce cause-and-effect relationships between pressure, flow, and motion, emphasizing proper adjustment and correct application rather than trial-and-error fixes.
