What Is the BFPA?
The British Fluid Power Association (BFPA) is the UK’s leading trade association for the fluid power industry. BFPA qualifications are widely recognised by employers across manufacturing, engineering, and industrial sectors as a benchmark for hydraulic competence.
Completing a BFPA course demonstrates that your team meets nationally recognised standards for working safely and effectively with hydraulic systems and components.

“We are already seeing tangible benefits, including a breakdown we had recently that the engineers were able to fault find easily. This training was an outstanding investment, providing our team with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel.”
Certification and Qualifications
BFPA courses are assessed and lead to competence-based qualifications recognised across the UK fluid power industry. Each delegate receives a BFPA certificate on successful completion. For organisations, BFPA-certified training provides documented evidence of competence — important for health and safety compliance and insurance purposes.
