CFPA has joined forces with IFPS to offer Certified Fluid Power Hydraulic Specialist certification in Ontario and Alberta. IFPS certifies thousands of fluid power professionals each year and serves as the industry standard for assessing the knowledge and skill level of individuals in the fluid power and motion control industry.
