Mechanical and Fluid Systems for Technicians

Mechanical and Fluid Systems for Technicians is an online, self-paced course that requires approximately 20 hours to complete. This course gives a thorough overview of the fundamentals of mechatronics and is intended for learners with some experience who are interested in a career in an industrial and maintenance environment.

The course focuses on key areas needed for equipment maintenance, including mechanical systems, pneumatics, and hydraulics.

This course is part of an ARM-endorsed skill path that aligns with the coursework for multiple SACA micro credentials. The course is aligned with SACA certification, and learners who successfully complete the course will have completed the coursework for two SACA micro credentials. The course does not provide SACA certification; learners who wish to become certified will need to complete a SACA exam for each micro credential.
