CFC-Solar has mapped a number of our courses to the Fluid Power Society certifications. By mapping we mean that the subject matter covered in the course happens to be knowledge that is also required for Certification.
Our courses can be taken individually or they can be taken as a program over time. The table below lists our recommended courses for each of the certifications. The number in parenthesis is the approximate length of the course in hours.

Typically we will recommend that individuals first take a free assessment test to gauge where their level of knowledge is compared to that which is required to successfully pass an exam. If a student scores poorly on the assessment we then recommend they take short multiple-choice assessment tests for each of our courses which lead to that Certification. In this way personnel are guided directly to additional courses that fill in their knowledge gaps and they don’t spend time in courses that are of no benefit to them.
