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.

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/Pneumatic sizing
• Practical mechanical experience

This detailed competency report identifies strengths and skill gaps, giving employers valuable insight for hiring, placement, advanced training, and preparation for IFPS certification.

Deeper knowledge. Better insight. Stronger technicians.
