Presentation of Material

The folks attending our Basic Hydraulics class are usually maintenance personnel or machine operators - people who don't normally spend their days in a classroom situation. With a combination of computer animation, individual participation, and small group activities to enhance the presentation, we keep participants actively involved in the class.8

The vast majority of the "Comments from Participants" you see on these pages were written by maintenance personnel and machine operators. As you can see from the participant's comments, the course gives everyone the opportunity to master the material while maintaining a high level of interest throughout the day.
