Electronic Controls has
become the preeminent control medium for Fluid Power, and
our industry has requested our “third party certifications”
to verify the higher competency skills
associated with the successful application and service of
these controls. By January 2009, we will be releasing our
Certified Fluid Power Electronic Control Specialist (CFPECS)
certification that will be immediately followed by an
Industrial Technician (CFPIECT) and Mobile Technician (CFPMECT)
certifications.
Our experience suggests that
the development of these three certifications will exceed
$200,000. We are requesting financial support and
technical input from Fluid Power manufacturers and
distributors that manufacture and/or sell “electronic
controls and electronic components”, and from OEM’s and
Users that incorporate these controls into their equipment.
