National Fluid Power Centre January 2026 Update
January has been another outstanding month for the National Fluid Power Centre (NFPC) and an excellent start to the new year.
NFPC January update
As well as a high demand for CETOP Qualifications, we have also experienced high demand for the NFPC Stage 2 Accumulator Competence Courses. Clients are now asking, what price for safety?
2026 will be the year that the NFPC continues to raise the awareness of Technical Competence and its importance when it comes to managing and maintaining todays Integrated Systems involving, Hydraulics, Electro-hydraulics, Pneumatics and Controls.
We are extremely proud to be a CETOP Certified Education Centre delivering 3 levels of Competence Based Qualifications. We continue to raise the importance to members of the UK workforce attending the NFPC, to have their Technical Competence Levels formally assessed and aligned to CETOP Educational Recommendations. (This adds a level of confidence to both management and the workforce).
New course for 2026
Hose Assembly Technology & Maintenance Inspection (1 Day) – will be presented by Richard Walker on behalf of the NFPC.
Richard has a vast knowledge and experience involving this area of Fluid Power Technology and is the Training Specialist at STAUFF UK. Due to demand, we plan to offer this course every month and it is aimed at the End User Market.
