Automation and control solutions com- pany Festo’s didactic training divi- sion indicates that there has been an increase in demand for hydraulics training this year, which has not been the case previously, says Festo manager for didactic training and consulting Horst Weinert .
Festo MD Richard Teagle explains that the training offered by the company is generic and not specific to Festo. It is approved by the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (Merseta) and is designed for applications across industries.
The company has about 1 000 participants each year in the different training courses, with a significant increase in hydraulics training, particularly in hydraulics maintenance.
Weinert says that, during the recession, the company has noted a decrease in advanced courses and more focus on general training.
