The International Fluid Power Society (IFPS), the only organization to provide comprehensive technical certifications for professionals in the fluid power and motion control industry, has recently upgraded its Pneumatic Specialist (PS) Certification Study Manual.
The IFPS PS Certification is for those designing pneumatic systems and writing specifications, sizing and selecting components for pneumatic systems across all industries.
“To keep pace with changing fluid power and motion control technologies, IFPS is committed to reviewing our Certification Study Manuals and Tests every five years by a panel of subject matter experts. All material is reviewed for relevance and current technical best practices and standards,” said Donna Pollander, ACA, Executive Director. “What the IFPS provides, in our newly updated PS Study Manual and Certification Test, is a highly developed, vendor-neutral, benchmarking tool to evaluate an individual’s fluid power competence, knowledge and skill set.”
The Upgraded PS Study Manual contains five sections of tasks with outcomes as well as review questions and pre-test practice questions for the following domains:
- Understand The Function Of Pneumatic Components In Circuits
- Analyze Loads And Motion
- Selecting Components For Pneumatic Systems
- Analyze And Troubleshoot Pneumatic Systems
- Electropneumatic Control Systems
Candidates may register now for the PS certification test by visiting www.ifps.org; testing for the PS Certification begins in September, 2017. The three-hour written PS test contains 50 multiple choice questions.
