A course on Basic Hydraulic Principles, which includes hands-on exercises, power supply elements and more will run from 5-7 March in Johannesburg, as well as in Durban from 26-28 February.
Festo will also present the Basic Pneumatics Course, from 12-14 March in Johannesburg and from 12-14 February in Durban. The advanced curriculum for pneumatics is scheduled to be presented in Johannesburg from 19-21 February. From circuit design and calculations to practical exercises for all circuits, an Advanced Hydraulics Course is to be held in Johannesburg between 26 and 28 February specifically aimed at previous Basic Hydraulics' participants.
Other courses available in months to follow include electro-pneumatics and advanced proportional hydraulics. Tom Webster, Festo Didactic's training expert, believes that the popularity of Festo's training courses can be ascribed to the non-brand specific, ie, generic, practical nature in which knowledge is presented, as well as the fact that the courses carry official approval from the MERSETA.
