The IFPS Hydraulic Aptitude Assessment™ – Level 2 goes beyond foundational aptitude to evaluate an individual's deeper mechanical reasoning and fluid power knowledge.

Designed for individuals with technical experience or training, Level 2 assesses the ability to understand and apply hydraulic principles—not simply recognize basic concepts. It explores areas such as component function and application, pressure and flow relationships, system sizing, loads and forces, electrical fundamentals, troubleshooting concepts, and advanced mechanical reasoning.

Online Assessment Access:
This assessment is completed online and can be taken at any time after purchase. Once your order is processed, you will receive access via email for the number of assessments purchased. Each assessment can then be distributed to the appropriate individual for completion online. The results and competency report outlined below will then be sent to the email address provided in the order.

Level 2 helps employers answer a more important question than “Does this person have mechanical aptitude?”  “Does this person have the technical foundation to become a highly capable fluid power professional?”

Competency Areas Include:

• Hydraulic component function
• Electrical fundamentals
• Mechanical reasoning
• Free body diagrams
• Load analysis
• Hydraulic sizing
• Practical mechanical experience

This detailed competency report identifies strengths and skill gaps, providing employers with valuable insights for placement, advanced training, and preparation for IFPS certification.

Deeper knowledge. Better insight.
