You aren’t an apprentice anymore. You’ve worked hard to get to where you are in your career.
You have the knowledge, you have the skills, and you have the hands-on experience.
But in working your way through your career you’ve found yourself in a position where you are required to design and optimise hydraulic systems.
Now designing systems is its own skill. But because you have all the knowledge you were expected to perform from day 1. But now you find yourself troubleshooting problems you didn’t even know existed until suddenly they happened with the new system you were building.

With a skills gap emerging in our industry it can also be difficult to find people who have the skills to help you. It could be causing you stress at work, or you might’ve lost confidence and be wondering if you’re the right person for the job.
I want to reassure you that it’s normal to not know what to do when you first start working in design. I mean you wouldn’t expect anyone else to smash something for the first time if they’d never done it before?
But how can we get you to a place where you are confident, competent, have a process for design and nail that push-button start every time?
Let me introduce you to our Introduction to Fluid Power Design Course.

"Hydraulic System Design Course for Engineers and Technicians"
This course will be helping engineers, workshop managers and technical assistants who want to gain further knowledge and confidence in how to design hydraulic systems to best suit their work environment now and into the future. With lots happening in the hydraulics industry and the need to keep up with advancing technologies, we’ll run through both design basics and cover topics that will help you design something more sophisticated in the future, but for now let’s keep it simple.
"Interactive Hydraulic Design Modules with Expert Guidance"
Each online module will be led by hydraulicSub-Headlines expert Kyle Probert and while working through each topic you will be given an activity or project that will help you process what you’ve learned so that you can apply it to the current project you are working on. The modules are laid out in a way that walks you through the process of designing each element required for a fully functional system. Once you’ve completed the activity you can then drop your finished element into the group for feedback so not only are you taking this opportunity to learn but also to use your expertise to help others.
"Hands-On Hydraulic Design: Overcome Obstacles and Gain Confidence"
The biggest focus is on the actual design process itself and how we work through any obstacles that present themselves. So, if you want to gain the confidence and competence you need to make design decisions, to troubleshoot problems, and create custom solutions then you’re in the right place! There is nothing else like this course available in Australia.

Modules
With over 33 recorded tutorials that you can watch again and again as you work through this process there is a lot to learn, but let me break it down into 5 main topics for you.
TOPIC 1: Engineering in Fluid Power Design
This will be a quick refresher of some of your basic engineering principles, but specifically how they apply in the world of hydraulics. Sometimes even when we know what we’re doing, it can be scary to apply in unfamiliar contexts, this module will get you up to speed so that you feel ready to tackle your design project.
TOPIC 2: Intro to design process (symbols & basic components)
This is where we’ll be covering the basics and working through the exact process you should follow every time you work on a design project to ensure you have a push button start, and smooth sailing from ideation to finished product. This will include looking at symbols and schematics, working with design templates, and looking at how you might use specific hydraulic components in your designs. Whether we’re talking about actuators, or pumps and tanks, this topic will get you feeling confident in your design choices.
TOPIC 3: Valves
Topic three is a deep dive into valves. Whether you are looking at PCVs, DCVs, or FCVs, this topic breaks down each of these components and walks you through what considerations you will need to make when including them in your design. We’ll be looking at flow control and making sure that everything is set in your system so that we don’t have failure to launch!
TOPIC 4: Hoses & Pipes
Your design needs something to connect it all together and choosing the right hose can make all of the difference. This is our last component based topic and will see you making the design choices you need to get your system operational. We’ll talk through the potential pitfalls of different choices so that you can make a decision that is best for your end product.
TOPIC 5: The Final Design And Troubleshooting
We’ll be putting pen to paper and creating the schematics of your final design in these sessions. But what if after all of this work you still run into a problem? Even the most experienced hydraulics professionals can make mistakes and that is why it is important to understand the role of troubleshooting in the design process. We’ll work on troubleshooting any problems that you come across so that you can tackle them early and still have that push-button start that you’ve always dreamed of.
