DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Take a look at what our customers have to say about us

The training delivered at the NPFC is first class. High quality presentations from knowledgeable experts, complimented by a well-equipped facility to support the practical learning. This has helped me to develop my hydraulics and electrical knowledge throughout my career. Kawasaki continue to use the NFPC to train our Engineers and technical staff to support in the development of their core competencies.

John Glover
Application Engineering Manager - Kawasaki Precision Engineering

I am extremely grateful for the support the NFPC provided us in ensuring that our Agile Maintenance L&D programme was implemented on time and in full. The training provided and the customer focus delivered was second to none and the feedback received from all the delegates (58 in total) who benefited from a range of pneumatics, hydraulics and PLC courses was very positive indeed.

Rick Franckeiss
L&D Manager - Sheffield Forgemasters

Webtec have been supporters of the NFPC for many years and the NFPC remains the ‘go to’ place for hydraulic training in the UK. They have outstanding facilities and attending courses at the NFPC is a mandatory part of our training programme for those involved in the design, sales or marketing of our hydraulic measurement and control products.

Martin Cuthbert
Managing Director – Webtec

As a technical trainer I visited the NFPC seeking a hydraulic qualification that would evidence a level of understanding and add value to my own training. Starting at Level 1, knowledgeable instructors and excellent facilities enticed me back time and time again, until I recently completed the CETOP Level 3 in Mobile Hydraulics. Each level of training has improved my knowledge, collectively adding confidence and clarity to every situation.

Phil Brown
Training Supervisor - Genie PSR

Very grateful to have spent the last few days up at the National Fluid Power Centre Limited in Worksop completing their Stage 1 Hydraulics course. Would highly recommend it to anyone who wants further their knowledge of Hydraulics. Great facility with some fantastic equipment and staff, especially hydraulic guru Graham Rowley. Hope to be back to learn more soon!

Lewis Ramsey
Hydraulic Service Engineer – Hydraquip

The service and delivery of training by the NFPC to our offshore wind turbine technician apprentices has been outstanding. The knowledge and practical experience they gain in fully equipped, hi-tech workshops enhances the apprentices’ ability to align themselves with an essential part of their job. We have worked closely with John Savage and his colleagues to fine tune the program to give our apprentices the best possible start to understanding turbine hydraulic systems, nothing has been too much trouble. Every apprentice has been fully engaged with the training given and their feedback has been exceptional such as “Best training I’ve ever done” and “I’ve learned so much on this course”. Our experience of The NFPC has been excellent and we look forward to continuing working with John and his team and to developing our relationship with The NFPC in the near future.
