🔎 Before You Plan the Training, Know Where to Start.

Where is your team strongest, and where could focused training make the biggest difference?

IFPS Hydraulic Aptitude Assessments help you get a clearer picture of hydraulic knowledge and mechanical reasoning, so you can make more informed hiring and development decisions.

⚙️ Level 1 evaluates foundational competencies, including hydraulic component function, electrical fundamentals, mechanical reasoning, and hydraulic sizing.

⚙️ Level 2 takes a deeper look at how individuals with technical experience or training understand and apply hydraulic principles, including pressure and flow relationships, system sizing, and troubleshooting concepts.

Both assessments are completed online and provide competency reports identifying strengths, skill gaps, and training opportunities.

Turn those insights into a more focused plan for your team’s development.

🏅 Three Certifications. One Recertification Fee.

An IFPS Master designation recognizes the certifications you've worked to earn—and offers a practical benefit when it's time to renew.

When you recertify your Master designation, the three certifications included in that designation are renewed together under one recertification fee. That means savings compared with renewing them individually.

For example, Master of Mobile Hydraulics (MMH) includes:
✔️ Mobile Hydraulic Technician (MHT)
✔️ Mobile Hydraulic Mechanic (MHM)
✔️ Connector & Conductor (CC)

IFPS offers five Master pathways, whether you're advancing within a specialty or expanding across disciplines. Once you hold all required certifications, no additional test is needed for the Master designation.

Explore the pathway that fits your experience and goals:
