Bespoke training courses for your staff maintaining and managing fluid power systems
The staff here at the NFPC (all Engineers from UK industry), have many years of experience in meeting customers needs by designing, developing and delivering specific courses to improve the work-based knowledge and skills assuring an overall level of performance when maintaining and managing their own systems.
Our NFPC training engineers will visit you on-site and discuss and identify your specific training needs and develop a bespoke course accordingly following our 3 phase plan and pricing policy.

Important information
Before we deploy staff on to your site to fully investigate your needs please inform us of any safety induction training required.
All staff will arrive with their own PPE and whilst on-site will follow all site related safety procedures. It would also be advantageous to receive a copy of your risk assessment and method statement aligned to the equipment/system to be investigated.
In readiness for the process to start and end with an effective training solution, we ask our customers to prepare answers to the following key questions:
- What do you want your staff to know at the end of the training course that they do not know at present?
- What do you want your staff to be able to do at the end of this course that they cannot do now?
Based on our past experience delivering bespoke training courses to a range of companies, here are some examples of key items that our customers have raised in the past that may help you to identify your particular needs:
- Be able to read and interpret our machine specific circuit diagrams
- Know which sections of the circuit are operational at any one time and be able to follow the flow paths
- Know the function, operation and control of all of the key components
- Know the location of the component parts and levels of accessibility
- Know those components that can be adjusted and what the outcome would be
- Know the elements of control and their effect on performance
- Further understand contamination management and the actions that must be taken at all times
- Know the safe working procedures to follow to carry out effective fault diagnosis and fault rectification
- Know the preventative measures that should be adopted to reduce downtime

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Take a look at what our customers have to say about us
The training delivered at the NPFC is first class. High quality presentations from knowledgeable experts, complimented by a well-equipped facility to support the practical learning. This has helped me to develop my hydraulics and electrical knowledge throughout my career. Kawasaki continue to use the NFPC to train our Engineers and technical staff to support in the development of their core competencies.
I am extremely grateful for the support the NFPC provided us in ensuring that our Agile Maintenance L&D programme was implemented on time and in full. The training provided and the customer focus delivered was second to none and the feedback received from all the delegates (58 in total) who benefited from a range of pneumatics, hydraulics and PLC courses was very positive indeed.
Webtec have been supporters of the NFPC for many years and the NFPC remains the ‘go to’ place for hydraulic training in the UK. They have outstanding facilities and attending courses at the NFPC is a mandatory part of our training programme for those involved in the design, sales or marketing of our hydraulic measurement and control products.
As a technical trainer I visited the NFPC seeking a hydraulic qualification that would evidence a level of understanding and add value to my own training. Starting at Level 1, knowledgeable instructors and excellent facilities enticed me back time and time again, until I recently completed the CETOP Level 3 in Mobile Hydraulics. Each level of training has improved my knowledge, collectively adding confidence and clarity to every situation.
Very grateful to have spent the last few days up at the National Fluid Power Centre Limited in Worksop completing their Stage 1 Hydraulics course. Would highly recommend it to anyone who wants further their knowledge of Hydraulics. Great facility with some fantastic equipment and staff, especially hydraulic guru Graham Rowley. Hope to be back to learn more soon!
The service and delivery of training by the NFPC to our offshore wind turbine technician apprentices has been outstanding. The knowledge and practical experience they gain in fully equipped, hi-tech workshops enhances the apprentices’ ability to align themselves with an essential part of their job. We have worked closely with John Savage and his colleagues to fine tune the program to give our apprentices the best possible start to understanding turbine hydraulic systems, nothing has been too much trouble. Every apprentice has been fully engaged with the training given and their feedback has been exceptional such as “Best training I’ve ever done” and “I’ve learned so much on this course”. Our experience of The NFPC has been excellent and we look forward to continuing working with John and his team and to developing our relationship with The NFPC in the near future.
