Some serious errors
There are some serious errors in this course, I would suggest it is reviewed by someone who is familiar with fluid power systems and process engineering. 2 obvious issues were in the test at the end. One question being the benefit of compressed air tools vs electric tools, the answer you put as correct is because they last longer and are more portable, one of the other answers was that compressed air tools are less prone to cause explosions which I chose but the test marked as incorrect. This is infuriating as pneumatic tools and systems are often selected for us in Atex zones because they are less likely to cause explosions, this needs changing as the rise of battery electric tools also means that pneumatic tools are not longer mor portable. The second question with an incorrect answer is the one about coolers. The test states the correct answer is to transfer heat out of the compressors to keep them cool, this isn't possible as they are fitted downstream of the compressors and their main purpose is to remove moisture from the airstream by forcing it to condense at the lower temps. These I just the errors I can remember but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more.

good training
Good and well explained.
Too long…
It’s best to keep it short and simple. This course was way too long.
Wrong answers, looks like tick off activity not a serious course
Example of correct answer below: Question How are compressors typically classified? Compressors are typically classified based on how they compress air or gas, and their construction or application. Here's a breakdown of the most common classification methods: ⚙️ 1. By Principle of Operation Type Description Positive Displacement Compressors Trap a fixed volume of air and mechanically reduce its volume to increase pressure. Examples: Reciprocating (piston), rotary screw, rotary vane Dynamic Compressors Use rotating impellers to accelerate air and convert velocity into pressure. Examples: Centrifugal, axial flow compressors 🧱 2. By Construction Type Description Reciprocating Uses pistons driven by a crankshaft—common in garages and small workshops Rotary Screw Uses two intermeshing screws—ideal for continuous industrial use Rotary Vane Uses a rotor with sliding vanes—compact and efficient for moderate air needs Centrifugal High-speed impellers—used in large-scale industrial or HVAC systems Axial Air flows parallel to the shaft—used in jet engines and power plants 📏 3. By Pressure Range Pressure Type Output Pressure Low-Pressure Up to 150 psi (10 bar) Medium-Pressure 151–1,000 psi (10.4–68.9 bar) High-Pressure Above 1,000 psi (69 bar) 🧰 4. By Application or Medium Oil-lubricated vs. Oil-free Portable vs. Stationary Industrial, medical, refrigeration, or pneumatic tools
This coarse highlights important factors that I did not know like the dangers and how the process works.
This is very important as it covers kinetic energy, the kinds of air involved and the purposes including the dangers of compressed air.
Do's and Don'ts
Perhaps more could have been said about not using them to clean off dusty clothes. Maintenance would normally be carried out by a maintainer not necessarily the user. I felt too much emphasis was put on this side of the course.
