Hydraulic Hose Assembly Training

Learning Outcomes

• Identify and select appropriate hoses, fittings, and adapters for specific hydraulic applications.
• Demonstrate correct procedures for cutting, stripping, and assembling hydraulic hose ends.
• Apply proper crimping techniques using manual and hydraulic crimping tools.
• Inspect completed assemblies for defects and test for leaks under pressure.
• Evaluate safety risks and implement control measures during hose assembly and testing.
• Comply with relevant occupational health and safety regulations and manufacturer specifications.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for technicians, maintenance personnel, and engineers involved in the installation and servicing of hydraulic equipment in industrial, mining, or agricultural settings.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for learners to develop the psychomotor skills required for safe and accurate hose assembly. Learners will practice measuring, cutting, skiving, crimping, testing, and installing hoses under supervision, culminating in a complete assembly project.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Measurement, Cutting, and Skiving — Learners measure and cut hoses to specified lengths, then skive the ends using appropriate tools for various hose types. (4h)
• Practical 2: Fitting Selection and Crimping — Learners select correct fittings and dies, then operate a crimping machine to assemble hoses, followed by post-crimp inspection. (5h)
• Practical 3: Pressure Testing and Installation — Learners pressure-test completed assemblies, then install them on a mock hydraulic system with correct routing and clamping. (5h)
• Practical 4: Final Assembly Project and Assessment — Learners complete a full hose assembly from measurement to testing, demonstrating all skills, and undergo a final practical assessment. (6h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
